Answer : The percent yield of the reaction is, 77.55 %

Explanation : Given,

Pressure of C_2H_4 and H_2 = 25.0 atm

Temperature of C_2H_4 and H_2 = 250^oC=273+250=523K

Volume of C_2H_4 = 1100 L per min

Volume of H_2 = 1550 L per min

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

Molar mass of C_2H_6 = 30 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of C_2H_4 and H_2 by using ideal gas equation.

For C_2H_4 :

PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{(25atm)\times (1100L)}{(0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (523K)}

n=640.45moles

For H_2 :

PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{(25atm)\times (1550L)}{(0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (523K)}

n=902.46moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

C_2H_4+H_2\rightarrow C_2H_6

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of C_2H_4 react with 1 mole of H_2

So, 640.45 mole of C_2H_4 react with 640.45 mole of H_2

From this we conclude that, H_2 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and C_2H_4 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of C_2H_6.

As, 1 mole of C_2H_4 react to give 1 mole of C_2H_6

As, 640.45 mole of C_2H_4 react to give 640.45 mole of C_2H_6

Now we have to calculate the mass of C_2H_6.

\text{Mass of }C_2H_6=\text{Moles of }C_2H_6\times \text{Molar mass of }C_2H_6

\text{Mass of }C_2H_6=(640.45 mole)\times (30g/mole)=19213.5g

The theoretical yield of C_2H_6 = 19213.5 g

The actual yield of C_2H_6 = 14.9 kg = 14900 g      (1 kg = 1000 g)

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of C_2H_6

\%\text{ yield of }C_2H_6=\frac{\text{Actual yield of }C_2H_6}{\text{Theoretical yield of }C_2H_6}\times 100=\frac{14900g}{19213.5g}\times 100=77.55\%

Therefore, the percent yield of the reaction is, 77.55 %

The hydrogen ions in the core of the sun move at high speed. Colliding together and sticking to each other.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The process describes the source of energy of the Sun such that it shines as a result of nuclear fusion of hydrogen taking place.  

Explanation:

The Sun generates energy by hydrogen within the Sun undergoing nuclear fusion to form helium.

Nuclear fusion reaction involves combining of two or more atomic nuclei to produce one or more completely different atomic nuclei as well as protons or neutrons, with a loss or gain of mass and the release or absorption of energy.

The process whereby four hydrogen atoms combine to form one helium atom  with a mass deficit, which is accounted for by the release of energy, result in the high intense light of the Sun.
