You have 2.2 mol Xe and 2.0 mol F₂, but when you carry out the reaction you end up with only 0.25 mol XeF₄. What is the percent

yield of this experiment? Xe(g) + 2 F₂ (g) → XeF₄ (g)

Answer:

The correct answer is 25 %

Explanation:

According to the chemical reaction:

Xe(g) + 2 F₂ (g) → XeF₄ (g)

1 mol of Xe(g) reacts with 2 mol of F₂(g), so the stoichiometric ratio os reactants is 2 mol F₂/mol Xe.

We have 2.2 mol Xe and 2.0 mol F₂, so the ratio is:

2.0 mol F₂/2.2 mol Xe = 0.909 mol F₂/mol Xe

The molar ratio of reactant we have is lower than the required, so F₂ is the limiting reactant.

By using the limiting reactant, we calculate the theoretical amount of product (XeF₄). For this, we know that 1 mol of XeF₄ is formed from 2 mol of F₂ (1 mol XeF₄/ 2 mol F₂), and we have 2.0 mol F₂:

2.0 mol F₂ x (1 mol XeF₄/ 2 mol F₂)= 1 mol XeF₄

If we only obtained 0.25 mol XeF₄, the percent yield of the experiment is:

Yield = experimental amount/theoretical amount x 100%

        = 0.25 mol XeF₄/ 1 mol XeF₄ x 100% = 25 %

The burning of a sample of propane
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

70.0°C

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Amount of heat generated by propane as 104.6 kJ or 104600 Joules
  • Mass of water is 500 g
  • Initial temperature as 20.0 ° C

We are required to determine the final temperature of water;

Taking the initial temperature is x°C

We know that the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C

Quantity of heat = Mass × specific heat × change in temperature

In this case;

Change in temp =(x-20)° C

Therefore;

104600 J = 500 g × 4.18 J/g°C × (x-20)

104600 J = 2090x -41800

146400 = 2090 x

  x = 70.0479

     =70.0 °C

Thus, the final temperature of water is 70.0°C

If you have 5.42 x 1024 aluminum atoms, approximately how many moles is that
sattari [20]

Answer:

<h2>9.00 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{5.42 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} }  \\  = 9.0033

We have the final answer as

<h3>9.00 moles</h3>

What is the degree of oxidation of a simple substance​​
marissa [1.9K]

Answer: The oxidation state of a free element (uncombined element) is zero. For a simple (monoatomic) ion, the oxidation state is equal to the net charge on the ion. For example, Cl– has an oxidation state of -1. When present in most compounds, hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1 and oxygen an oxidation state of −2.

hope this helps........ Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D Explanation:
