Answer:

The balanced chemical equation: NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻

Explanation:

According to the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, the acid- base reaction is a type of chemical reaction between the acid and base to give a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.

In this reaction, a Brønsted–Lowry acid loses a proton to form a conjugate base. Whereas, a Brønsted–Lowry base accepts a proton to form a conjugate acid.

Acid + Base ⇌ Conjugate Base + Conjugate Acid

The acid dissociation constant (Kₐ) <em>signifies the acidic strength of a chemical species.</em>

∵ pKₐ = - log Kₐ

Thus for a strong acid, Kₐ value is large and pKₐ value is small.

pKₐ (HF) = 3.2 → strong acid

pKₐ (NH₃) = 38 → weak acid

<u>The chemical reaction involved in the dissolution process:</u>

NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻

In this acid-base reaction, the acid HF reacts with NH₃ base to give the conjugate base HF₂⁻ and conjugate acid NH₄⁺.

<u>HF (acid) donates a proton to form the conjugate base, HF₂⁻ ion. NH₃ (base) accepts a proton to form the conjugate acid. </u>

Zn + 2 HCl --&gt; ZnCl2 + H2 How many moles of hydrochloric acid (HCl) are used (assume a complete reaction) if 8.3 moles of zin
uysha [10]

Answer:

E. 16.6 mol HCl

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is;

Zn + 2 HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2

From the reaction 2 moles of HCl produces 1 mole of ZnCl2

Therefore; 8.3 moles of ZnCl2 will be produced by;

  = 8.3 moles ×2

  = 16.6 Moles of HCl

  Therefore;  E.  16.6 mol HCl

If the actual yield of a reaction is 37.6 g while the theoretical yield is 112.8 g what is the percent yield
Zigmanuir [339]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The percent yield of the reaction is 32.45%

<h2>Why?</h2>

To calculate the percent yield, we have to consider the theoretical yield and the actual yield. The theoretical yield as its name says is the yield expected, however, many times the difference between the theoretical yield and the actual yield is notorious.

We are given that:

ActualYield=37.6g\\TheoreticalYield=112.8g

Now, to calculate the percent yield, we need to divide the actual yield by the theoretical and multiply it by 100.

So, calculating we have:

PercentYield=\frac{ActualYield}{TheoreticalYield}*100\\\\PercentYield=\frac{37.6g}{112.8g}*100=0.3245*100=32.45(percent)

Hence, we have that the percent yield of the reaction is 32.45%.

Have a nice day!
