Consider the following reaction between calcium oxide and carbon dioxide: CaO(s)+CO2(g)→CaCO3(s) A chemist allows 14.4 g of CaO

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Theoretical yield =26.03 g

Percent yield = 87%

Limiting reactant = CaO

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CaO = 14.4 g

Mass of CO₂ = 13.8 g

Actual yield of CaCO₃ = 22.6 g

Theoretical yield = ?

Percent yield = ?

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CaO + CO₂ → CaCO₃

Number of moles of CaO:

Number of moles = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles = 14.4 g / 56.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.26 mol

Number of moles of CO₂:

Number of moles = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles = 13.8 g / 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.31 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CO₂ and CaO with CaCO₃ .

CO₂ : CaCO₃

1 : 1

0.31 : 0.31

CaO : CaCO₃

1 : 1

0.26 : 0.26

The number of moles of CaCO₃ produced by CaO are less it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of CaCO₃: Theoretical yield

Mass of CaCO₃ = moles × molar mass

Mass of CaCO₃ =0.26 mol × 100.1 g/mol

Mass of CaCO₃ = 26.03 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 22.6 g/ 26.03 g × 100

Percent yield = 0.87× 100

Percent yield = 87%

Limiting reactant:

The number of moles of CaCO₃ produced by CaO are less it will be limiting reactant.

1. A sample of polystyrene is found to have a number-average molar mass of 89,440 g mol−1 . Neglecting contributions from end gr

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The weight-average molar mass of polystyrene is 134,160 g/mol.

Explanation:

Molar mass of the monomer styrene , $C_8H_8$ , M=104 g/mol

Given , number average molar mass of the polymer , M'= 89,440 g/mol

Degree of polymerization = n

$n=\frac{M'}{M}=\frac{89,440 g/mol}{104 g/mol}=860$

The weight-average molar mass = $M_{avg}=?$

Molar mass dispersity is ratio of weight-average molar mass to the number average molar mass of the polymer.

$\text{Molar mass dispersity}=\frac{M_{avg}}{M'}$

$1.5=\frac{M_{avg}}{89,440 g/mol}$

$M_{avg}=89,440 g/mol\times 1.5 = 134,160 g/mol$

The weight-average molar mass of polystyrene is 134,160 g/mol.

Mercury can be obtained by reacting mercury(I) sulfide with calcium oxide. How many grams of calcium oxide are needed to produce

OLga [1]

First, 55 g of Hg is 3.65 moles because one mole of Hg has a molar mass of 200.59

Then, the mole ratio of Hg to CaO is 8:4 or 2:1. SO we divide 3.65 by 2 to get 1.82 moles of CaO

This is the same as 102.06 grams because one mole of CaO has a molar mass of 56.0774

Hope this helps!
