Balance the following oxidation-reduction reactions, which take place in acidic solution, by using the "half-reaction" method.

First identify which is being oxidized and reduced. In this case, the Mg is being oxidized and the Hg is being reduced. 

Mg --> Mg+2 
 
<span>Hg+2 --> Hg+1 
</span>
Then you have to balance each half reaction first with electrons before adding them together in one equation

Mg ⇒ Mg^{+2}  +  2e^{-1}

and

2Hg^{+2} + 2e^{-1} ⇒ Hg_{2} ^{+2}
 
and then combine them together to form 

Mg + 2 Hg^{+2} + 2e ⇒ Mg^{+2} + 2e ^{-} + 2 Hg^{+1} + 2 e^{-}

It isn't necessary to keep the electrons but its essential to know how many there are in order to know how many are in the equation in order to calculate the reaction energy. Note: A<span>dd H+ and H2O to balance the H's and O's in acidic solution if needed.</span>

1.86 g H2 is allowed to react with 9.75 g N2 , producing 2.87g NH3.
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

                     (a)  Theoretical Yield  =  10.50 g

                      (b)   %age yield  = 27.33 %

Explanation:

Answer-Part-(a)

                 The balance chemical equation for the synthesis of Ammonia is as follow;

                                          N₂ + 3 H₂ → 2 NH₃

Step 1: Calculating moles of N₂ as;

                   Moles = Mass / M/Mass

                   Moles = 9.75 g / 28.01 g/mol

                   Moles = 0.348 moles of N₂

Step 2: Calculating moles of H₂ as;

                   Moles = Mass / M/Mass

                   Moles = 1.86 g / 2.01 g/mol

                   Moles = 0.925 moles

Step 3: Finding Limiting reagent as;

According to equation,

                1 mole of N₂ reacts with  =  3 moles of H₂

So,

             0.348 moles of N₂ will react with  =  X moles of H₂

Solving for X,

                     X = 3 mol × 0.348 mol / 1 mol

                     X = 1.044 mol of H₂

It shows that to consume 0.348 moles of N₂ completely we require 1.044 mol of Hydrogen while, as given in statement we are only provided with 0.925 moles of H₂ hence, hydrogen  is limiting reagent. Therefore, H₂ will control the final yield.

Step 4: Calculating moles of Ammonia as,

According to equation,

                3 mole of H₂ produces  =  2 moles of NH₃

So,

             0.925 moles of H₂ will produce  =  X moles of NH₃

Solving for X,

                     X = 2 mol × 0.925 mol / 3 mol

                     X = 0.616 mol of NH₃

Step 5: Calculating theoretical yield of Ammonia as,

                     Theoretical Yield  =  Moles × M.Mass

                     Theoretical Yield  =  0.616 mol  × 17.03 g/mol

                     Theoretical Yield  =  10.50 g

Answer-Part-(b)

                    %age yield  = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

                    %age yield  = 2.87 g / 10.50 g × 100

                    %age yield  = 27.33 %

An impurity sometimes found in Ca₃(PO₄)₂ is Fe₂O₃, which is removed during the production of phosphorus as ferrophosphorus (Fe₂P
Citrus2011 [14]

This impurity is troubling from an economic standpoint because it lead to decrease in the yield of phosphorus

  • Ferrophosphorus is a byproduct of phosphorus production in submerged-arc furnaces , by their reduction with carbon. It is formed from the iron oxide impurities.
  • Iron impurities present in the calcium phosphate will be precipitated out as the iron phosphate which eventually will lead to the decrease in the yield of phosphorous during the production of phosphorous.

Thus we can conclude that Fe₂P causes decrease in yield
