Answer:
1040%
Explanation:
To solve this question we must convert the mass of Iron to moles in order to find limiting reactant. With limiting reactant we can find the theoretical moles of hydrogen and theoretical mass:
Percent yield = Actual yield (5.40g) / Theoretical yield * 100
<em>Moles Fe -Molar mass: 55.845g/mol-:</em>
10.3g * (1mol / 55.845g) = 0.184 moles of Fe will react.
For a complete reaction of these moles there are necessaries:
0.184 moles Fe* ( 3 mol H2SO4 / 2 mol Fe) = 0.277 moles H2SO4.
As there are 14.8 moles of the acid, <em>Fe is limiting reasctant.</em>
The moles of H2 produced are:
0.184 moles Fe* ( 3 mol H2 / 2 mol Fe) = 0.277 moles H2
The mass is:
0.277 moles H2 * (2.016g/mol) = 0.558g H2
Percent yield is:
5.40g / 0.558g * 100 = 1040%
It is possible the experiment wasn't performed correctly
It depends, for example, it is quite important to know the Kelvin scale (i.e 0 degrees Celsius is 273 K and -273 degrees Celsius is 0 K ) when dealing gases. But I don't know other situations where you would need to know other temperature scales.
Hope this helps and also if you are using Fahrenheit 1 Fahrenheit is -17.22 degrees Celsius
wrong. If its for the study island its potential energy only.
As one element .because po4 is phosphate for e.g.: NaPO4
