Answer:

Legumes have numerous advantages for health and are also very good for soils.

Explanation:

From a health point of view, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, legumes are seeds that contain low sugar, low fat, high fiber, iron and antioxidants, all of which contribute to a better functioning of the human body. But also from an ecological perspective, this plants are great for restoring soils because their are the only group of plants capable of sequestering nitrogen from the atmosphere into the food webs. In food insecure populations usually one of the main problems is the poor state of soils, and also the need for high-nutrient aliments to fight diseases. That is why legumes are such a good source for them.

An experiment reacts 20.4 g of zinc metal with a solution containing an excess of iron (III) sulfate. After the reaction, 10.8 g

quester [9]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 92.7%

Explanation:

Balanced Chemical reaction

3 Zn + Fe₂(SO₄)₃ ⇒ 2Fe + 3ZnSO₄

Molecular weight

Zinc = 65.4 x 3 = 196.2g

Iron (III) = 56 x 2 = 112 g

Proportions

196.2 g of Zinc ------------------ 112 g of Iron

20.4 g of Zinc ----------------- x

x = (20.4 x 112) / 196.2

x = 2284.8/196.2

x = 11.65 g of Iron

% yield = $\frac{10.8}{11.65} x 100$

% yield = 0.927 x 100

% yield = 92.7

In one step in the synthesis of the insecticide Sevin, naphthol reacts with phosgene as shown.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

C₁₀H₈O + COCl₂ → C₁₁H₇O₂Cl + HCl

A. How many kilograms of C₁₁H₇O₂Cl form from 2.5×10*2 kg of naphthol?

Given data:

Mass of naphthol = 2.5 ×10² kg ( 250×1000 = 250000 g)

Mass of C₁₁H₇O₂Cl = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of naphthol = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles of naphthol = 250000 g/ 144.17 g/mol

Number of moles of naphthol = 1734.1 mol

Now we will compare the moles of naphthol with C₁₁H₇O₂Cl.

C₁₀H₈O : C₁₁H₇O₂Cl

1 : 1

1734.1 : 1734.1

Mass of C₁₁H₇O₂Cl:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1734.1 mol × 206.5 g/mol

Mass = 358091.65 g

Gram to kilogram:

1 kg×358091.65 g/ 1000 g = 358.1 kg

B. If 100. g of naphthol and 100. g of phosgene react, what is the theoretical yield of C11H7O2Cl?

Given data:

Mass of naphthol = 100 g

Mass of COCl₂ = 100 g

Theoretical yield of C₁₁H₇O₂Cl = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of naphthol:

Number of moles of naphthol = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles of naphthol = 100 g/ 144.17 g/mol

Number of moles of naphthol = 0.694 mol

Number of moles of phosgene:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 100 g/ 99 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.0 mol

Now we will compare the moles of naphthol and phosgene with C₁₁H₇O₂Cl.

C₁₀H₈O : C₁₁H₇O₂Cl

1 : 1

0.694 : 0.694

COCl₂ : C₁₁H₇O₂Cl

1 : 1

1.0 : 1.0

The number of moles of C₁₁H₇O₂Cl produced by C₁₀H₈O are less so it will limiting reactant and limit the yield of C₁₁H₇O₂Cl.

Mass of C₁₁H₇O₂Cl:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.694 mol × 206.5 g/mol

Mass = 143.3 g

Theoretical yield = 143.3 g

C. If the actual yield of C11H7O2Cl in part b is 118 g, what is the percent yield?

Given data:

Actual yield of C₁₁H₇O₂Cl = 118 g

Theoretical yield = 143.3 g

Percent yield = ?

Solution:

Formula :

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Now we will put the values in formula.

Percent yield = 118 g/ 143.3 g × 100

Percent yield = 0.82 × 100

Percent yield = 82%
