Ethene is converted to ethane by the reaction

Chemistry
1 answer:
vlabodo [156]3 years ago
6 0

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 %

Why is it hotter in the summer and colder in the winter?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer: During the summer, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a steep angle. ... Also, the long daylight hours allow the Earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures. During the winter, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits any given spot.

you are holding a bowling ball with a mass of 6 kg at a height of 1 meter. How much gravitational potential energy does the bowl
Bumek [7]

The formula for GPE is PE=mgh, where “m” is the mass of the object, “g” is the acceleration due to gravity (~9.8 m/s^2 on Earth’s surface), and “h” is the height of the object from the ground. Therefore,

PE=mgh

PE=(6 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(1 m)

PE=58.8 kg•m^2/s^2 or 58.8 Newtons

The GPE of the bowling ball under these conditions would be about 59 Newtons.

Hope this helps!

If the moon resembled an asteroid, which theory would be most supported?
Law Incorporation [45]
<span>This is called "The capture theory" which states that the Earth's Moon was captured by the gravitational pull of our planet, meaning that it formed elsewhere, and then was pulle dinto place by the Earth, already formed. This would rely upon the ideas that a asteroid pased close enough to the Earth's orbit to be "captured".</span>

which of the following correctly identifies the composition of an oxygen atom? A.8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons. B.6 pro
Ulleksa [173]
<span>You can answer this question by getting the atomic number and atomic mass of Oxygen from a periodic table. There you will find that the atomic number is 8, that means, by definition, that it has 8 protons. This is, because atomic number is defined as the number of protons of an element. Given that the atom is neutral, that implies that the atoms have the same number of electrons than protons. So you already know that the oxygen atoms has 8 protons and 8 electrons. The number of neutrons can vary, which is what defines the isotopes. Given that the atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999, that means that most atoms of oxygen has 8 neutrons (8 protons +8 neutrons = 16 atomic mass). But you can not be sure that a specific atom of oxygen has 8 neutrons, nevertheless, given that the other options are discarded (because they do not have 8 protons and 8 electrons), the only correct answer is the option A. 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons.</span>
