Answer:

Molecular formula: S4K8O16  empirical formula: SK2O4

Explanation:

First we find the moles of each by first finding grams (using the percent) and then using stoichiometry to convert into moles:

Sulfur: 696 *.18 = 125.28grams S* \frac{1 mole S}{32.065 g S} = 3.907 moles S

Potassium: 696 *.4487 = 312.2952 *\frac{1 mole K}{39.08 g K}= 7.99117 mole K

Oxygen: 696 * .367 = 255.432 * \frac{1 mol O}{16g O} = 15.9654 mole O

Then we divide each value by the atom with the smallest number of moles to find the mole ratio:

3.907/3.907= 1

7.99117 mole K/ 3.907= 2.043

15.9654 mole O/ 3.907= 4.08

The empirical formula is SK2O4

To find the molecular formula, we divide the mass given (696) by the mass of the empirical formula (174.22) to get 4. We then divide each atom by 4.

Molecular formula: S4K8O16

The theoretical yield of a reaction is the amount of product obtained if the limiting reactant is completely converted to produc
Elis [28]

Answer: 9.9 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

a) moles of H_2

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{8.150g}{2g/mol}=4.08moles

b) moles of C_2H_4

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{9.330g}{28g/mol}=0.33moles

H_2(g)+C_2H_4(g)\rightarrow C_2H_6(g)

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of C_2H_4 combine with 1 mole of H_2

Thus 0.33 mole of C_2H_4 will combine with =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.33=0.33 mole of H_2

Thus C_2H_4 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.

As 1 mole of C_2H_4 give =  1 mole of C_2H_6

Thus 0.33 moles of C_2H_4 give =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.33=0.33moles  of C_2H_6

Mass of C_2H_6=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.33moles\times 30g/mol=9.9g

Thus theoretical yield (g) of C_2H_6 produced by the reaction is 9.9 grams
