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%

An aqueous salt solution is 15.0% mass sodium chloride. How many grams of salt are in 250.0 grams of this solution? Use correct
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

37.5 g NaCl

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Concentration of NaCl: 15.0% m/m
  • Mass of the solution: 250.0 g

Step 2: Calculate how many grams of NaCl are in 250.0 g of solution

The concentration of NaCl is 15.0% by mass, that is, there are 15.0 g of NaCl every 100 g of solution.

250.0 g Solution × 15.0 g NaCl/100 g Solution = 37.5 g NaCl

Draw the major product for the reaction of 1-butyne with water in the presence of catalytic TfOH (i.e., CF3SO3H). Then answer th
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

2-Butanone

Explanation:

From the given information:

The presence of mercury as an acid catalyst brings about the addition of water to the triple bond which yields enol. Then, according to Markownikov's rule and after tautomerism has occurred, we have a methyl ketone ( 2- Butanone) as the product.

The answer regarding the transformation is addition and hydration.

Compare the amount of heat required to vaporize a 200.-gram sample of H2O(ℓ) at its boiling point to the amount of heat required
stira [4]
The enthalpy of vaporization of H2O is higher than the enthalpy of fusion of H2O, therefore vaporizing the same mass of H2O would require more heat/energy than melting the same mass of H2O.
