Answer:
1. Theoretical yield = 2.03g
2. Actual yield 1.89g
Explanation:
Let us write a balanced equation. This is illustrated below:
Zn + 2HCI —> ZnCl2 + H2
Molar Mass of HCl = 1 +35.5 = 36.5g/mol
Mass of HCl from the balanced equation = 2 x 36.5 = 73g
Molar Mass of H2 = 2x1 = 2g/mol
1. From the equation,
73g of HCl produced 2g of H2.
Therefore, 74g of HCl will produce = (74 x 2)/73 = 2.03g
Therefore, theoretical yield = 2.03g
2. %yield = 93%
Theoretical yield = 2.03g
Actual yield =?
%yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield x100
Actual yield = %yield x theoretical yield
Actual yield = 93% x 2.03 = (93/100)x2.03 = 1.89g
Actual yield =1.89g
The answer is (2). If you recall Rutherford's gold foil experiment, remember that a stream of positively charged alpha particles were shot at a gold foil in the center of a detector ring. The important observation was that although most of the particles passed straight through the foil without being deflected, a tiny fraction of the alpha particles were deflected off the axis of the shot, and some were even deflected almost back to the point from which they were shot. The fact that some of the alpha particles were deflected indicated a positive charge (because same charges repel), and the fact that only a small fraction of the particles were deflected indicated that the positive charge was concentrated in a small area, probably residing at the center of the atom.
The Law of Conservation of Mass states that the mass of reactants entering a reaction must be equal to the mass of the products exiting it. In this case, we only have 2 reactants, Fe and S, and we only have 1 product, FeS. Therefore we expect the total mass of the Fe and S reactants to equal the mass of FeS. This gives us 112 g + 64 g = 176 g of FeS, which is choice D.
In a chemical change, the atoms in the reactants rearrange themselves and bond together differently to form one or more new products with different characteristics than the reactants. When a new substance is formed, the change is called a chemical change.
