Which catalyzed reaction breaks up ozone?

Chemistry
1 answer:
bekas [8.4K]3 years ago
4 0

This is a good example of homogeneous catalysis where everything is present as a gas.

Ozone, O3, is constantly being formed and broken up again in the high atmosphere by the action of ultraviolet light. Ordinary oxygen molecules absorb ultraviolet light and break into individual oxygen atoms. These have unpaired electrons, and are known as free radicals. They are very reactive.

baherus [9]

Answer: Theoretical yield is 313.6 g and the percent yield is, 91.8%

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} Fe_2O_3=\frac{450}{160}=2.8moles

\text{Moles of} CO=\frac{260}{28}=9.3moles

Fe_2O_3(s)+3CO(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(l)+3CO_2(g)

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of Fe_2O_3 require 3 moles of CO

Thus 2.8 moles of Fe_2O_3 will require=\frac{3}{1}\times 2.8=8.4moles  of CO

Thus Fe_2O_3 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and CO is the excess reagent.

As 1 mole of Fe_2O_3 give = 2 moles of Fe

Thus 2.8 moles of Fe_2O_3 give =\frac{2}{1}\times 2.8=5.6moles of Fe

Mass of Fe=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2.6moles\times 56g/mol=313.6g

Theoretical yield of liquid iron = 313.6 g

Experimental yield = 288 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield }}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100=\frac{288g}{313.6g}\times 100=91.8\%

Therefore, the percent yield is, 91.8%

These substances are all ____. H2O2 Li NaCl O2
Bogdan [553]

Answer: pure substances.


Explanation:


The given substances are:

  • H₂O₂
  • Li
  • NaCl
  • O₂

All what surrounds us, which has mass and occupies spaces, is matter. There are two kind of matter: pure substances and mixtures.


Pure substances have a uniform and constant composition. On the other hand, mixtures are combinations of two or more pure substances in  any arbitratry ratio.


Pure substances may be elements or compounds. The elements are the substances conmposed by one only kind of atom. In the list of substances given, Li and O₂ are elements: all the atoms in Li are lithium, and all the atoms in O₂ are oxygen atoms.


Compounds are the chemical combination of two or more different kind of atoms. In the given list H₂O₂ and NaCl are compounds. As you see, H₂O₂ contains atoms of hydrogen and oxygen, chemically bonded, in a fixed ratio (2 atoms of hydrogen by 2 atoms of oxygen). And NaCl has atoms of Na (sodium) and Cl (chlorine), chemicaly bonded, in a fixed ratio (1:1).


There are only 118 known elements and you can find them in any modern periodic table. Therer are virtually infinitely many compounds since many different combinations of the elements can be attained.


Elements and compounds have in common that they are classified as pure substances.
