Answer:

The limiting reactant is the propane gas, C₃H₈ while the percentage yield is 83.77%

Explanation:

Here we have

Propane gas with molecular formula C₃H₈, molar mass  = 44.1 g/mol combining with O₂ as follows

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Therefore, 1 mole of C₃H₈  combines with 5 moles of O₂ to produce 3 moles CO₂ and 4 moles of H₂O

Mass of propane = 0.1240 kg = 124.0 g

Number of moles of propane = mass of propane/(molar mass of propane)

The number of moles of propane = 124/44.1 = 2.812 moles

The molar mass of CO₂ = 44.01 g/mol

Mass of CO₂ = 0.3110 kg = 311.0 g

Therefore, number of moles of CO₂ = mass of CO₂/(molar mass of CO₂)

The number of moles of CO₂ = 311.0 kg/ 44.01 g/mol = 7.067 moles

Therefore, since 1 mole of propane produces 3 moles of CO₂, 2.812 moles of propane will produce 3 × 2.812 moles or 8.44 moles of CO₂

Therefore;

The limiting reactant is the propane gas, C₃H₈, since the oxygen is in excess

Hence

The \ percentage \ yield = \frac{Actual \, yield}{Theoretical \, yield} \times 100 = \frac{7.067}{8.44} \times 100 = 83.77 \%

The percentage yield = 83.77%.

Select the three most acidic hydrogen atoms in lactic acid, CH3CH(OH)CO2H, and rank them in order of decreasing acidity. Explain
Olin [163]
It is easier to determine this if we draw the structural formula of lactic acid as shown in the attached picture. There are three functional groups in lactic acid: carboxyl group, hydroxyl group, and the parent alkane chain. Any of the hydrogens in the alkane chain is the least acidic. Then, it is followed by the H in the hydroxyl group. The most acidic is the H in the carboxyl group.

How much energy is needed to melt 25.4 grams of l2
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

0.7824 KJ

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of iodine = 25.4 g

Amount of heat required to melt = ?

Solution:

The heat of fusion of iodine is 7.824 Kj /mol

Number of moles of iodine = 25.4 g/ 254 g/mol

Number of moles of iodine = 0.1 mol

The amount of heat required to melt one mole of iodine is 7.824 Kj /mol

For 0.1 mol;

7.824 Kj /mol × 0.1 mol

0.7824 KJ
