What do chemists use percent yield calculations for in the real world?

Chemistry
1 answer:
STALIN [3.7K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C. To determine how efficient reactions are.

D. To determine how much reactant they need.

Explanation:

When you are doing a reaction, you are hoping for a percent yield to close of 100%. You make the reaction and determine how many product you obtain. If you know the percent yield of a reaction you can calculate the amount of reactant you need to obtain a determined amount of product.

Having this in mind:

A. To balance the reaction equation.  false. To calculate percent yield you need to balance the reaction before. You don't use percent yield to balance the reaction

B. To determine how much product they will need.  false. You determine how much product you obtain after the reaction. How much product you need is independent of percent yield

C. To determine how efficient reactions are.  true. A way to determine efficience of a reaction is with percent yield. An efficient reaction has a high percent yield.

D. To determine how much reactant they need. true. If you know percent yield of a reaction you can know how many reactant you must add to obtain  the amount of product you want.

4. You have a very concentrated solution (12 M) of potassium chloride (KCI). You need it to be at the least concentration possib
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

C. 2.4 M

Explanation:

Because you started with 12M solution of KCl, that means that there was a concentration of 12 mols of KCl per Liter of solution. (12mol/1L =12 M). Since there was only 0.5L of solution, there was only 6 mols of KCl because there is only 12 mols per 1 Liter, so half of that volume would have half the amount of solute to keep that true. (6mol/.5L = 12 M). With the new water added, the formula becomes (6mols KCl/ 2.5L of water =2.4 M)

A chemical engineer has determined by measurements that there are 69.0 moles of hydrogen in a sample of methyl tert-butyl ether.
Juli2301 [7.4K]
<span>5.75 moles The formula for methyl tert-butyl ether is (CH3)3COCH3, so a single molecule has 5 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 1 oxygen atoms. So for every 12 moles of hydrogen, there's 1 mole of oxygen. So simply divide the number of moles of hydrogen by 12 to get the number of moles of oxygen. 69.0 / 12 = 5.75 Therefore there's 5.75 moles of oxygen in the sample.</span>

During a phase change, the temperature of a substance _____.
adell [148]

Answer: remains constant.


Justification:


1) The phase changes are:


i) Boiling: pass from liquid to gas (absorbs heat energy)

ii) Condensation: pass from gas to liquid (release heat energy)

iii) Melting: pass from solid to liquid (absorb heat energy)

iv) Freezing: pass from liquid to solid (release heat energy)

v) Sublimation: pass from solid to gas (absorbs heat energy)

vii) Deposition: pass from gas to solid (release heat energy)


2) When a phase change occurs, whichever it is, the heat energy related with the process, either absortion or release, is used, to overcome the intermolecular forces (in the case of heat energy absortion) or to create stronger intermolecular forces (in the case of heat energy release).


Because of that, the heat energy exchange does not change the temperature of the substance.
