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 formula for a compound of Li₊ ions and Br_ ions is written LiBr. Why can't it be written Li₂Br? Why isn't it written BrLi?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

.

Explanation:

Lithium is in the first column of the periodic table, so it will have 1 valence electron.

Bromine is in the seventh column of the periodic table, so it will have seven valence electrons.

They must combine in a way to reach 8.

When combining elements to form compounds, the "crisscross method" is used. Above Li would be a charge of +1, and above Br would be a charge of -1.

Cross the 1 from the top of Li to the bottom of Br, and so there is 1 Br.

Cross the 1 from the top of Br to the bottom of Li, and so there is 1 Li.

It is not written BrLi because chemists decided to order them the other way. Technically speaking, it isn't wrong, but the positive charge is normally put on the left and the negative charge is normally put on the right.
