Answer:

Explanation:

The increase of temperature makes the molecules collide more frequently which therefore means they also have more kinetic energy stored in them. This means there's more energy available for the molecules to use to overcome the activation energy.

What is the percent yield of a reaction in which 51.5 g of tungsten(VI) oxide (WO3) reacts with excess hydrogen gas to produce m

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The percent yield of a reaction is 48.05%.

Explanation:

$WO_3+3H_2\rightarrow W+3H_2O$

Volume of water obtained from the reaction , V= 5.76 mL

Mass of water = m = Experimental yield of water

Density of water = d = 1.00 g/mL

$M=d\times V = 1.00 g/mL\times 5.76 mL=5.76 g$

Theoretical yield of water : T

Moles of tungsten(VI) oxide = $\frac{51.5 g}{232 g/mol}=0.2220 mol$

According to recation 1 mole of tungsten(VI) oxide gives 3 moles of water, then 0.2220 moles of tungsten(VI) oxide will give:

$\frac{3}{1}\times 0.2220 mol=0.6660 mol$

Mass of 0.6660 moles of water:

0.666 mol × 18 g/mol = 11.988 g

Theoretical yield of water : T = 11.988 g

To calculate the percentage yield of reaction , we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$=\frac{m}{T}\times 100=\frac{5.76 g}{11.988 g}\times 100=48.05\%$

The percent yield of a reaction is 48.05%.

EL hidroxido de sodio reacciona con el sulfato de hierro (II) para formar sulfato de sdio e hidroxido ferroso. Si se hace reacci

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

280.8 g

Explanation:

Definimos la reaccion:

2NaOH + FeSO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + Fe(OH)₂

Como tenemos la masa de NaOH, asumimos que el sulfato de hierro (II) es el reactivo en exceso.

Definimos masa de reactivo: 250 g . 1mol / 40g = 6.25 mol

2 moles de NaOH producen 1 mol de hidroxido ferroso

Entonces 6.25 moles producirán, la mitad (6.25 . 1) /2 = 3.125 moles

Convertimos los moles a masa:

3.125 mol . 89.85 g/mol = 280.8 g
