Answer:

97%.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

SiO2 (s) + 3C (s) —> SiC(s) + 2CO(g)

Next, we shall determine the mass of SO2 that reacted and the mass of SiC produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of SiO2 = 28 + (16x2) = 60 g/mol

Mass of SO2 from the balanced equation = 1 x 60 = 60 g

Molar mass of SiC = 28 + 12 = 40 g/mol

Mass of SiC from the balanced equation = 1 x 40 = 40 g.

From the balanced equation above,

60 g of SiO2 reacted to produce 40 g of SiC.

Next, we shall determine the theoretical yield of SiC. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

60 g of SiO2 reacted to produce 40 g of SiC.

Therefore, 50.1 g of SiO2 will react to produce = (50.1 x 40)/60 = 33.4 g of SiC.

Therefore, the theoretical yield of SiC is 33.4 g

Finally, we shall determine the percentage yield of SiC as follow:

Actual yield of SiC = 32.3 g

Theoretical yield of SiC = 33.4 g

Percentage yield =?

Percentage yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield x 100

Percentage yield = 32.3/33.4 x 100

Percentage yield = 96.7 ≈ 97%

Therefore, the percentage yield of the reaction is 97%.

The equilibrium constant for the gas phase reaction N2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇌ 2NO (g) is Keq = 4.20 ⋅ 10-31 at 30 °C. At equilibrium, __
pychu [463]

Answer:

At equilibrium, reactants predominate.

Explanation:

For every reaction, the equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio between the concentration of products and reactants. Thus, for the reaction N2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇌ 2NO the expression of its equilibrium constant is:

Keq = \frac{[NO]^{2}}{[O_{2} ][N_{2}]}

Since the equilibrium constant is Keq = 4.20x10-31 the concentration of reactants O2 and N2 must be much higher than products to obtain such a small number as  4.20x10-31 at the equilibrium. Hence, at equilibrium reactants predominate.

Which class of compounds contains only carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen?
Likurg_2 [28]
<h2>Answer: </h2>

Nitrogen forms many thousands of organic compounds. Most of the known varieties may be regarded as derived from ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, cyanogen, and nitrous or nitric acid. The amines, amino acids, and amides, for example, are derived from or closely related to ammonia.

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

A carbohydrate has only Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen, with the hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio 2:1.

Examples are glucose C6H12O6 and table sugar C12H22O11

A protein is made of amino acids. Amino acids have an amino group which is −NH2.  

So without nitrogen atoms the compound cannot be a protein.

Nucleic acids are organic compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen but they also contains phosphorus and oxygen. They are made of smaller units called nucleotides.

So;

Simple Amines are the class of organic compounds that only contains Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen.
