What would cause the percent yield of a reaction to be less than 100%?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Roman55 [17]3 years ago
3 0

<u>Answer:</u>

All of the limiting reagent gets used up causes the percent yield of a reaction to be less than 100%

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is rare for a chemical reaction to occur with the right proportion of reactants that reacts together to form resultant products.During this process, one of the reactants gets used up faster resulting in the lower percent yield. Such product that gets used up faster is called limiting reagent. This limiting reagent is responsible for lowering the percentage yield in the chemical reaction.

The limiting reactant can be found easily by calculating the yield of each reactant assuming they are consumed completely. The reactant which has least yield is the limiting reactant of the reaction.

Answer:

Atoms are indivisible

I had a hard time finding this out.

Explanation: Dalton's atomic theory was the first complete attempt to describe all matter in terms of atoms and their properties. Dalton based his theory on the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition. The first part of his theory states that all matter is made of atoms, which are indivisible.

Given the following data: Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) → 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g) ΔH = −23 kJ 3 Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) → 2 Fe3O4(s) + CO2(g) ΔH = −39
nalin [4]

Answer:

ΔH° = -11 kj

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

1)   Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) → 2 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g)    ΔH = −23 kJ

2)   3 Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) → 2 Fe3O4(s) + CO2(g)   ΔH = −39 kJ

3)   Fe3O4(s) + CO(g) → 3 FeO(s) + CO2(g) ΔH = +18 kJ

Step 2: The balanced equation

FeO + CO → Fe + CO2

Step 3:  Calculate ΔH for the reaction FeO(s) + CO(g) → Fe(s) + CO2(g).

To get this equation, we need to combine the 3 equations

We have to multiply the third equation by 2.

2Fe3O4(s) + 2CO(g) → 6 FeO(s) + 2CO2(g) ΔH = +54 kJ

<u>This equation we add to the second equation</u>

3Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) + 2Fe3O4(s) + 2CO(g) → 2Fe3O4(s) + CO2(g) + 6FeO(s) + 2CO2 (g)

3Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) →  3CO2(g) + 6FeO(s)

ΔH°  = 2*18 + (-39) = 36 - 39 =  -3 kJ

<u>This new equation we will divide by 3 </u>

3Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) →  3CO2(g) + 6FeO(s)

Fe2O3(s) + CO(g) →  CO2(g) + 2FeO(s)

ΔH°  =-3/3 = -1 kJ

<u>Now we will substract this new equation from the first equation</u>

Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) - Fe2O3(s) - CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO2(g) -2FeO(s) - CO2(g)

2CO(g)  + 2FeO(s)  → 2Fe(s) + 2CO2(g)

ΔH° = -23kJ +1kJ

ΔH° = -22 kj

<u>The next equation we will divide by 2</u>

2CO(g)  + 2FeO(s)  → 2Fe(s) + 2CO2(g)

CO(g)  + FeO(s)  → Fe(s) + CO2(g)

ΔH° = -22kJ /2

ΔH° = -11 kj
