Answer:

Maximum expected yield = 87.2%

Explanation:

Equations of reactions:

Main reaction: N₂O₄(l) + 2N₂H₄(l) ---> 3N₂(g) + 4H₂O(g)

Side reaction:  2N₂O₄(l) + N₂H₄(l) ----> 6NO(g) + 2H₂O(g)

Molar mass of N₂O₄ = 92 g/mol; molar mass of N₂H₄ = 32 g/mol; molar mass of N₂ = 28 g/mol; molar mass of of NO = 30 g/mol; molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

In the main reaction, 92 g of N₂O₄ reacts with 2 * 32 g of N₂H₄ to produce 3 * 14 g of N₂.

101.1 g of N₂O₄ will react with 2 * 32 * 101.1 / 92 g of N₂H₄ = 70.33 g of N₂H₄

<em>N₂O₄ is the limiting reactant</em>

101.1 g of N₂O₄ will react to produce 3 * 14 * 101.1 / 92 g of N₂ =  46.15 g of  N₂

In the side reaction, (6 * 30 g) of NO  is produced  from (2 * 92 g) of N₂O₄ and 32 g of N₂H₄

12.7 g of N₂O₄ will be produced from ( 2 * 92 * 12.7/180 g) of N₂O₄ and (32 * 12.7/180) g of N₂H₄ to produce

mass of N₂O₄ used = 12.98 g

mass of N₂H₄ used = 2.26 g

mass of N₂O₄ left for main reaction = 101.1 - 12.98 = 88.12 g

mass of N₂H₄ left for main reaction = 101.1 - 2.26 = 98.84 g

In the main reaction, 92 g of N₂O₄ reacts with 2 * 32 g of N₂H₄ to produce 3 * 14 g of N₂

88.12 g of N₂O₄ will react with 2 * 32 * 88.12 / 92 g of N₂H₄ = 61.30 g of N₂H₄

N₂O₄ is the limiting reactant.

88.12 g of N₂O₄ will to react produce 3 * 14 * 88.12 / 92 g of N₂ =  40.23 g of  N₂

Percentage yield = (theoretical yield/actual yield) * 100%

Percentage yield = (40.23/46.15) * 100% = 87.2%

Therefore, maximum expected yield = 87.2%

What type of chemical reaction is AgNO3(aq)+KCL(aq) AgCL(s)+KNO3(aq)​
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

double replacement reaction or double displacement reaction,

Explanation:

double replacement reaction, double displacement reaction, is a chemical process involving the exchange of bonds between two non-reacting chemical species which results in the creation of products with similar or identical bonding affiliations

Classically, these reactions result in the precipitation of one product.

in thía case it is AgCl

How much heat energy would be released if 78.1 g of water at 0.00 °c were converted to ice at −57.1 °c. give your answer as a po
kolezko [41]
To convert 78.1 g of water at 0° C to Ice at -57.1°C; we can do it in steps;
1. Water at 0°C to ice at 0°C
The heat of fusion of ice is 334 J/g; 
Heat = 78.1 × 334 = 26085.4 Joules
2. Ice at 0°C to -57.1°C 
Specific heat of ice is 2.108 J/g
Heat = 78.1 × 2.108 J/g = 164.6348 Joules
Thus the total heat energy released will be; 26085.4 + 164.6348 
 = 26250.0348 J or 26.250 kJ

All of the following reactions can be described as displacement reactions except:____________.
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

The reaction that is not a displacement reaction from all the options is C_6H_6_{(l)} + Cl_{2(g)} --> C_6H_5Cl_{(l)} + HCl_{(g)}

In a displacement reaction, a part of one of the reactants is replaced by another reactant. In single displacement reactions, one of the reactants completely displaces and replaces part of another reactant. In double displacement reaction, cations and anions in the reactants switch partners to form products.

<em>Options a, c, d, and e involves the displacement of a part of one of the reactants by another reactant while option b does not.</em>

Correct option = b.
