Answer:

The percentage yields are as follows :

a) 64.28%

b) 58.03%

c) 69.46%

d) 79.31%

Explanation:

The percentage yield is the ratio of the actual yield of a product to the expected or theoretical yield expressed as a percentage.

Percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield x 100%

a) from the question, expected yield is 68.3 g whilst the actual yield is 43.9 g

therefore,

Percentage yield = 43.9 g/68.3 g x 100%

                             =  0.64275 x 100%

                             =  64.28%

b) From the question, expected yield is 0.0722 mol while the actual yield is 0.0419 mol. Therefore

Percentage yield = 0.0419 /0.0722 x 100%

                             = 0.58033 x 100%

                             = 58.03%

c) A limiting reactant is the reactant is is completely used in a recation to form a product. That is, it is the reactant that is not in excess.

From the equation of the reaction :

CH3COOH + CH3CH2OH --> CH3COOCH2CH3 + H2O

1 mole of ethanol reacts with 1 mole of acetic acid to give 1 mole of ethyl acetate.

From the question, ethanol is the limiting reactant because it is not in excess. Hence,

4.29 mole of ethanol should produce 4.29 mole of ethyl acetate (expected yield).

However only 2.98 mol of ethyl acetate is produced (actual yield)

Percentage yield = 2.98mol/4.29 mol x 100%

                            =  0.69463 x 100%

                            = 69.46%

d) From the question, acetic acid is in excess hence ethanol is the limiting reactant

therefore from the equation of the reaction:

1 mole of ethanol reacts with 1 mole of acetic acid to give 1 mole of ethyl acetate.

0,58 mol of ethanol should produce 0.58 mol of ethyl acetate (expected yield)

But 0.46 mol of ethyl acetae was produced (actual yield)

Percentage yield = 0.46mol /0.58 mol x 100%

                             = 0.79310 x 100%

                              = 79.31%

You have been working to develop a new fictitious compound in the lab. Determine the amount in units of moles​ [mol] of 20 grams
vodomira [7]

From the chemical formula the total mass of the compound can be determined. The mass of the 1 mole of the compound is its molar mass. The atom by which the molecule is generated, the mass of these atoms are expressed in terms of amu or atomic unit mass, but after formation of a molecule in a particular ratio the mass of each of the atom becomes the total molecular weight of the generated molecule. In this case the molecule posses three atoms X, Y and Z which are in a ratio of 2:2:7. Thus the chemical formula of the compound can be written as X_{2}Y_{2}Z_{7}.

So the total mass of the compound in amu is {(2×47)+(2×42)+(7×16)} = {94+84+112}=290 amu.

Thus 1 mole of the compound contains 290 amu or 290 g  by mass.

Henceforth 20 gram of the compound is equivalent to  (20/290) = 0.068 mole.

Solve for y in the following problem: 5.3 x 10- (y)(2y)
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The value of y = 5.1478

Explanation:

The linear equation is an equation obtained when a linear polynomial is equated to zero. When the solution obtained on solving the equation is substituted in the equation in place of the unknown, the equation gets satisfied.

The given equation: 5.3 x 10- (y)(2y) = 0

⇒ 53 - 2y² = 0

⇒ 2y² = 53

⇒ y² = 53 ÷ 2 = 26.5

⇒ y = √26.5 = 5.1478
