Answer:

Here... Since there is excess HCl, you know the Zinc will be the limiting reagent.  I was able to create the reaction equation based on the info you gave: Z + 2HCl ----> ZCl2 +2H.  Now, in order to find the theoretical yield of ZCl, you need to convert Zinc from grams to moles.  Do this by dividing by its molar mass (65.38), thus: 3.68 (g) / 65.38 (g/mol) = 0.056286... moles.  

Now, using the balanced equation we made earlier, we see that 1 mole of Zinc creates 1 mole of ZCl2.  Thus our ratio is 1:1.  This makes the next step easy.  Since it is 1:1, we multiply the number of moles we have of Zinc (0.056286...) by the number of moles it will create of ZCl (1).  (0.056286)(1) = 0.056286 moles ZCl.  Now convert this to grams by multiplying by its molar mass (136.28) and you get 7.67 grams.  This is your theoretical yield.  The percent yield is found by dividing the actual amount obtained (7.12 g.) by the theoretical yield (7.67 g.) then multiply that by 100%.   When this is done, your Percent Yield is about 92.8%

What is the mole fraction of each component if 3.9 g of benzene (C6H6) is dissolved in 4.6 g of toluene (C7H8)
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Step 1 of 6

(a)

The mass of benzene is  , so calculate the moles of benzene as follows:



The mass of toluene is, so calculate the moles of toluene as follows:



Now, calculate the mole fraction as follows:





Therefore, the mole fraction of benzene and toluene is  and  respectively.

Step 2 of 6

(b)

The formula to calculate the partial pressure is as follows:



Here,  is the partial pressure of benzene,  is the vapour pressure of pure benzene and  is the mole fraction of benzene.

Vapour pressure of pure benzene at  is.

Substitute the values in the equation as follows:



Therefore, the partial pressure is  .

Step 3 of 6

(c)

Vapor pressure of the solution at 1 atm is  .

When the total pressure of the vapour pressure of the mixture is  at a temperature, then, the solution boils. It corresponds to the boiling point of the solution.

Calculate the total pressure of the solution at  as follows:



Since, the total pressure is less than the atmospheric pressure, the solution will not boil at  .

Calculate the total pressure of the solution at  as follows:



Since, the total pressure is greater than the atmospheric pressure, the solution will boil at  .

Therefore, the boiling point of the solution is  .

Step 4 of 6

(d)

Mole fraction of benzene at  is calculated as follows:



Mole fraction of toluene at  is calculated as follows:



Therefore, the mole fractions of benzene and toluene are  and  respectively.

Step 5 of 6

(e)

Vapor pressure of benzene at  is  .

Partial pressure of benzene is calculated as follows:



Vapor pressure of toluene at  is  .

Partial pressure of toluene is calculated as follows:



Step 6 of 6

Weight composition of the vapour that is in equilibrium with the solution is calculated as follows:



Weight composition of the vapour that is in equilibrium with the solution is calculated as follows:

What is the percentage composition when 10g of magnesium combines with 4g of nitrogen?
Ivanshal [37]
The %  composition   when 10g of magnesium combine   with  4g of   nitrogen  is  71.43%   magnesium   and  28.57 %  nitrogen

               calculation

%
  composition  =  mass  of an element  / total mass  x100
mass  of magnesium = 10 g
mass of nitrogen  =  4g

calculate  the  total  mass  used

=  10g of  Magnesium  + 4 g of  nitrogen = 14 grams

%   composition for  magnesium  is therefore  =  10/14  x100 = 71.43 %

%  
composition  for  nitrogen  is therefore = 4 /14  x100  =   28.57 %

FIND THE RATIO BY MASS OF THE COMBINING ELEMENTS IN THE FOLLOWING COMPOUNDS
boyakko [2]
The given compound is Aluminum sulfate, Al2(SO4)3:

Molar masses:

Aluminum = 27 g/mol
Sulfur = 32 g/mol
Oxygen = 16 g/mol

The total molar mass is 342 g/mol
The ratio by mass of the elements:

Aluminum = 27*2/342 
                  = 0.16
Sulfur = (32*3)/342
           = 0.28
Oxygen = (16*12)/342
              = 0.56
