Answer:
Percent yield of reaction is<em> 150%.</em>
Explanation:
Given data:
Percent yield = ?
Actual yield of SO₃ = 586.0 g
Mass of SO₂ = 705.0 g
Mass of O₂ = 80.0 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2SO₂ + O₂ → 2SO₃
Number of moles of SO₂:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 586.0 g/ 64.1 g/mol
Number of moles = 9.1 mol
Number of moles of O₂:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 80.0 g/ 32g/mol
Number of moles = 2.5 mol
Now we will compare the mole of SO₃ with O₂ and SO₂.
SO₂ : SO₃
2 : 2
9.1 : 9.1
O₂ : SO₃
1 : 2
2.5 : 2×2.5 = 5
The number of moles of SO₃ produced by oxygen are less it will limiting reactant.
Theoretical yield of SO₃:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 5 mol × 80.1 g/mol
Mass = 400.5 g
Percent yield of reaction:
Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100
Percent yield = 586.0 g/ 400.5 g× 100
Percent yield = 1.5× 100
Percent yield = 150%
Answer:
This question is incomplete but the missing part is in the picture attached.
Explanation:
A mixture of silicon oxide, ammonium chloride and sodium chloride were to be separated. Three separating techniques were used in the experiment; sublimation, decantation and evaporation.
Sublimation is the process in which a substance changes from solid to gas without passing through the liquid phase. <u>Ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) is a substance that has the ability to sublime</u> and thus was separated first through this property before adding water to the remaining constituents (silicon oxide and sodium chloride) of the mixture. After the addition of water to the mixture, <u>sodium chloride dissolves in this water while silicon oxide does not dissolve in water</u>. The mixture is then left to stand for some minutes so the <u>undissolved sand can settle at the bottom of the mixture</u> and the <u>dissolved salt water can be decanted out</u> so as to have the silicon oxide left in the jar.
The <u>salt solution decanted will have to be evaporated to dryness</u> (to remove the added water) so as to have the solid salt back.
