Answer:
Percent yield = 90.5%
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of carbon dioxide = 500 g
Mass of water = excess
Actual yield of carbonic acid = 640 g
Percent yield = ?
Solution:
Balanced chemical equation:
CO₂ + H₂O → H₂CO₃
Number of moles of carbon dioxide
Number of moles = Mass / molar mass
Number of moles = 500 g/ 44 g/mol
Number of moles = 11.4 mol
Now we will compare the moles of H₂CO₃ with CO₂.
CO₂ : H₂CO₃
1 : 1
11.4 : 11.4
Mass of carbonic acid:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 11.4 mol × 62.03 g/mol
Mass = 707.14 g
Percent yield:
Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100
Percent yield = 640 g/ 707.14 g × 100
Percent yield = 90.5%
A is your answer.
On the periodic table the atomic number is the number of protons inside the nucleus.
The ocean absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere wherever air meets water. Wind causes waves, giving more opportunity for the water to absorb the carbon dioxide.
