Many computer chips are manufactured from silicon, which occurs in nature as SiO2. When SiO2 is heated to melting, it reacts wit

h solid carbon to form liquid silicon and carbon monoxide gas. In an industrial preparation of silicon, 155.0 kg of SiO2 is allowed to react with 79.0 kg of carbon to produce 66.2 kg of silicon.

Answer:

A) SiO2 is the limiting reactant

B) Theoretical yield= 72333.3g

C) % yield =91.5%

Explanation:

SiO2(s) + 2C(s) --------------> Si(s) + 2CO(g)

n(SiO2)= 155000/60 = 2583.33 mols

n(C)= 79000/12= 3291.66 mols

a)SiO2 is the limiting reactant

According to the balanced reaction equation,

60g of SiO2 produced 28g of SiO2

155000g of SiO2 will produce 155000×28/60= 72333.3g

Therefore theoretical yield of Si= 72333.3g

% yield= 66200/72333.3×100/1 =91.5%

9. At equilibrium a 2 L vessel contains 0.360
klio [65]

Answer:

Ke = 34570.707

Explanation:

  • H2(g) + Br2(g) → 2 HBr(g)

equilibrium constant (Ke):

⇒ Ke = [HBr]² / [Br2] [H2]

∴ [HBr] = (37.0 mol) / (2 L) = 18.5 mol/L

∴ [Br2] = (0.110 mol) / (2 L) = 0.055 mol/L

∴ [H2] = (0.360 mol) / (2 L) = 0.18 mol/L

⇒ Ke = (18.5 mol/L)² / (0.055 mol/L)(0.18 mol/L)

⇒ Ke = 34570.707
