Grains contain gold in forms that seem tailor-made for industrial use. Rumpelstiltskin, the fairy-tale rogue who spun straw into gold, has nothing on Miguel Yacaman and Jorge Gardea-Torresdey. The gold appears as particles mere billionths of a meter wide

Consider the following balanced equation for the following reaction:
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

47.47 g of CO₂ is the amount formed.

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2C₆H₅COOH(aq) + 15O₂(g) → 14CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l)

Let's apply the formula for the percent yield

Percent yield of reaction = (Produced yield/Theoretical yield) . 100

First of all we convert the moles of CO₂ to mass: 1.30 mol . 44 g /1 mol = 57.2 g. So now, we replace:

(Produced yield / 57.2 g ). 100 = 83

Produced yield / 57.2 g  = 83 / 100

Produced yield / 57.2 g  = 0.83

Produced yield = 0.83 . 57.2g → 47.47 g of CO₂
