During a laboratory experiment, a 2.36-gram sample of NaHCO3 was thermally decomposed. In this experiment, carbon dioxide and wa

ter vapors escape and are combined to form carbonic acid. After decomposition, the sample weighed 1.57 grams. Calculate the percentage yield of carbonic acid for the reaction. Describe the calculation process in detail.

Answer:

  • 90.7 %

Explanation:

<u>1) Chemical equation (given)</u>

  • 2NaHCO₃ → Na₂CO₃ + H₂CO₃

<u>2) Theoretical yield</u>

<u>a) Convert mass of NaHCO₃ to moles:</u>

  • n = mass in grams / molar mass
  • molar mass = 84.007 g/mol
  • n = 2.36 g / 84.007 g/mol = 0.02809 mol

<u>b) Mole ratio:</u>

  • 2 mol NaHCO₃ : 1 mol H₂CO₃

<u>c) Proportionality:</u>

  • 2 mol NaHCO₃ / mol H₂CO₃ = 0.02809 mol NaHCO₃ / x

       ⇒ x = 0.2809 / 2 mol H₂CO₃ = 0.01405 mol H₂CO₃

<u>3) Actual yield</u>

<u>a) Mass balance</u>: 2.36 g - 1.57 g = 0.79 g

<u>b) Convert 0.79 g of carbonic acid to number of moles</u>:

  • n = mass in grams / molar mass

  • molar mass = 62.03 g/mol

  • n = 0.79 g / 62.03 g/mol = 0.01274 mol

<u>4) Percentage yield, y (%)</u>

  • y (%) = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

  • y (%) = 0.1274 mol / 0.1405 mol × 100 = 90.68%

The answer must show 3 significant figures, so y(%) = 90.7%.

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  ΔH = -283 kJ/mol, first option

Explanation:

Reaction

                CO  +  O₂     ⇒     CO₂

ΔH = ∑H products - ∑H products

ΔH = -393.5 - (-110.5 + 0)

ΔH = -393.5 + 110.5

ΔH = -283 kJ/mol

Consider the reaction between hydrogen gas and chlorine gas to form hydrogen chloride gas in a closed cylinder with a movable pi
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

In this case, the system doesn't be affected by the pressure change. This means that nothing will happen

Explanation:

We can answer this question applying the Le Chatelier's Principle. It says that changes on pressure, volume or temperature of an equilibrium reaction will change the reaction direction until it returns to the equilibrium condition again.

The results of these changes can define as:

Changes on pressure: the reaction will move depending the quantity of moles on each side of the reaction

Changes on temperature: The reaction will move depending on if it's endothermic or exothermic

Changes on volume: The reaction will move depending the limit reagent  and the quantity of moles on each side of the reaction

In the exercise, they mention a change on pressure of the system at constant temperature (that means the temperature doesn't change). As Le Chatelier Principle's says, we must analyze what happens if the pressure increase or decrease. If pressure increase the reaction will move on the side that have less quantity of moles, otherwise, if the pressure decreases the reaction will move to the side that have more quantity of moles. In this case, we can see that both sides of the equation have the same number of moles (2 for the reactants and 2 for the products). So, in this case, we can conclude that, despite the change on pressure (increase or decrease), nothing will happen.

Which equation represents single replacement reaction? A) CH4 + 2 02 → CO2 + 2 H2O B) CaCO3 + CaO + CO2 C) 2 Na + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH
loris [4]

Answer:

C) 2 Na + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH + H2.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given chemical reactions, it is possible to firstly understand that a single displacement reaction is characterized by the presence of a single element as the first reactant and a compound as the second one, thus, yielding a compound as the first product and a single element as the second one.

In such a way, according to the given choices, it possible to note that C) 2 Na + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH + H2 is the only one with the aforementioned condition as the element at the reactants side is Na and at the products side is H2.

Best regards!
