Reptile [31]

Answer:

The % yield of CO2 is 85.05 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of octane = 702 grams

Molar mass octane = 114.23 g/mol

Mass CO2 =1.84 kg = 1840 grams

Molar mass of CO2

Step 2: The balanced equation

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles of octane

Moles octane = mass octane / molar mass octane

Moles octane = 702.0 grams / 114.23 g/mol

Moles octane = 6.145 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of CO2

For 2 moles octane we need 25 moles O2 to produce 16 moles CO2 and 18 moles H2O

For 6.145 moles octane we'll have 8*6.145 moles =49.16 moles

Step 5: Calculate mass of CO2

Mass CO2 = moles CO2 * molar mass CO2

Mass CO2 = 49.16 moles * 44.01 g/mol

Mass CO2 = 2163.5 grams

Step 6: Calculate % yield of carbon dioxide

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield)*100%

% yield = (1840/2163.5)*100%

% yield = 85.05 %

The % yield of CO2 is 85.05 %

What happens to a solid if thermal energy is reduced

kompoz [17]

When a substance is heated, it gains thermal energy. Therefore, its particles move faster and its temperature rises. When a substance is cooled, it loses thermal energy, which causes its particles to move more slowly and its temperature to drop.

Answer:

The concentration equilibrium constant is $K_c = 14.39$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for this decomposition of ammonia is

$2 NH_3$ ↔ $N_2 + 3 H_2$

The initial concentration of ammonia is mathematically represented a

$[NH_3] = \frac{n_1}{V_1} = \frac{29}{75}$

$[NH_3] = 0.387 \ M$

The initial concentration of nitrogen gas is mathematically represented a

$[N_2] = \frac{n_2}{V_2}$

$[N_2] = 0.173 \ M$

So looking at the equation

Initially (Before reaction)

$NH_3 = 0.387 \ M$

$N_2 = 0 \ M$

$H_2 = 0 \ M$

During reaction(this is gotten from the reaction equation )

$NH_3 = -2 x$ (this implies that it losses two moles of concentration )

$N_2 = + x$ (this implies that it gains 1 moles)

$H_2 = +3 x$ (this implies that it gains 3 moles)

Note : x denotes concentration

At equilibrium

$NH_3 = 0.387 -2x$

$N_2 = x$

$H_2 = 3 x$

Now since

$[NH_3] = 0.387 \ M$

$x= 0.387 \ M$

$H_2 = 3 * 0.173$

$H_2 = 0.519 \ M$

$NH_3 = 0.387 -2(0.173)$

$NH_3 = 0.041 \ M$

Now the equilibrium constant is

$K_c = \frac{[N_2][H_2]^3}{[NH_3]^2}$

substituting values

$K_c = \frac{(0.173) (0.519)^3}{(0.041)^2}$

$K_c = 14.39$
