Dichlorine monoxide, Cl2O is sometimes used as a powerful chlorinating agent in research. It can be produced by passing chlorine

gas over heated mercury (II) oxide according to the following equation: HgO + Cl2 ????HgCl2 + Cl2O What is the percent yield, if the quantity of the reactants is sufficient to produce 0.86g of Cl2O but only 0.71 g is obtained?

Answer:

% yield =  82.5%

Explanation:

HgO + 2Cl₂ →  HgCl₂ +  Cl₂O

Our reactants are:

  • HgO and Cl₂

Our products are:

  • HgCl₂ +  Cl₂O

We do not have information about moles of reactants, but we do know the theoretical yield and the grams of product, in this case Cl₂O, we have produced.

Percent yield = (Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100

Theoretical yield is the mass of product which is produced by sufficent reactant. We replace data:

% yield = (0.71 g/0.86g) . 100 = 82.5%

Biphenyl, C12H10,C12H10, is a nonvolatile, nonionizing solute that is soluble in benzene, C6H6.C6H6. At 25 ∘C,25 ∘C, the vapor p
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Vapour pressure of solution is 78.151 torr

Explanation:

Molar mass of biphenyl = 154.21 g

Molar mass of benzene = 78.11 g

19.2 g biphenyl = (19.2/154.21) moles of biphenyl = 0.125 moles of biphenyl

33.7 g of benzene = (33.7/78.11) moles of benzene = 0.431 moles of benzene

Total number of moles = (0.125+0.431) moles = 0.556 moles

Mole fraction of benzene in solution = (0.431/0.556) = 0.775

According to Roults law, vapour pressure of solution made from non-volatile solute = (mole fraction of solvent in solution)\times (vapour pressure of pure solvent)

Here solute is biphenyl and solvent is benzene

So, vapour pressure of solution = (0.775\times 100.84)torr = 78.151 torr

  If the temperature is kept constant, what change in volume would cause the pressure of an enclosed gas to be reduced to one-th
joja [24]
Using the ideal gas equation pV = nRT, where R is the ideal gas constant, we can show that p=nRT/V. Since n, R and T are all constants, p2/p1 = V1/V2 where p1 and p2 are the start and final pressures respectively and V1 and V2 are the start and final volumes respectively. For if p1 = 3*p2, the pressure would have fallen to one third of its original value, and it follows that V2 = 3*V1. Therefore, for the pressure to fall to a third of its original value, the volume must increase by a factor of 3.

A monatomic ideal gas that is initially at 1.50 * 105 Pa and has a volume of 0.0800 m3 is compressed adiabatically to a volume o
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

300000Pa or 3×10^5 Pa

Explanation:

Since the problem involves only two parameters of volume and pressure, the formula for Boyle's law is suitably used.

Using Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 is the initial pressure = 1.5×10^5Pa

V1 is the initial volume = 0.08m3

P2 is the final pressure (required)

V2 is the final volume = 0.04 m3

From the formula, P2 = P1V1/V2

P2 = 1.5×10^5 × 0.08 ÷ 0.04

= 300000Pa or 3×10^5 Pa.

Charra [1.4K]
Titration experiments require the use of a burette. It is a long graduated glass tube held in place by a clamp stand. It has a tap fixture on the end that regulates the delivery of small volumes of liquid into a beaker in the titration process. Bunsen burners are used to heat substances and crucibles are used to hold items to be heated to high temperatures.
