Answer:

% yield of reaction is 26.4

Explanation:

The reaction is:

Mg + I₂ → MgI₂

Our reactants are magnessium and iodine. We determine the moles of each to find the limiting reactant:

10 g . 1mol / 24.3 g = 0.411 moles of Mg

95 g . 1mol / 253.8g = 0.374 moles of I₂

Ratio is 1:1. For 1 mol of Mg we need 1 mol of iodine

For 0.411 moles, we need the same amount, but we only have 0.374 moles of iodine, that's why the gas is the limiting reactant.

As ratio is 1:1 again, 0.374 moles of iodine can produce 0.374 moles of MgI₂

We determine the mas (theoretical yield): 0.374 mol . 278.1 g/mol = 104 g

To calculate the percent yield:

% yield = (yield produced /theoretical yield) . 100

% yield = (27.5 g/ 104g) . 100 = 26.4

Answer: The molarity of solution is 0.799 M , molality of solution is 1.02 m, mole fraction of camphor is 0.045 and mass percent of camphor in solution is 13.43 %

Explanation:

Calculating the molarity of solution:

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

Given mass of camphor = 70.0 g

Molar mass of camphor = 152.2 g/mol

Volume of solution = 575 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of camphor}=\frac{70\times 1000}{152.2\times 575}\\\\\text{Molarity of camphor}=0.799M$

Calculating the molarity of solution:

To calculate the mass of ethanol, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of ethanol = 0.785 g/mL

Volume of ethanol = 575 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.785g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{575mL}\\\\\text{Mass of ethanol}=(0.785g/mL\times 575mL)=451.38g$

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

where,

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (camphor) = 70 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (camphor) = 152.2 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (ethanol) = 451.38 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molality of camphor}=\frac{70\times 1000}{152.2\times 451.38}\\\\\text{Molality of camphor}=1.02m$

Calculating the mole fraction of camphor:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For camphor:

Given mass of camphor = 70 g

Molar mass of camphor = 152.2 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of camphor}=\frac{70g}{152.2g/mol}=0.459mol$

For ethanol:

Given mass of ethanol = 451.38 g

Molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of ethanol}=\frac{451.38g}{46g/mol}=9.813mol$

Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

Moles of camphor = 0.459 moles

Total moles = [0.459 + 9.813] = 10.272 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\chi_{(camphor)}=\frac{0.459}{10.272}=0.045$ \

Calculating the mass percent of camphor:

To calculate the mass percentage of camphor in solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of camphor}=\frac{\text{Mass of camphor}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100$

Mass of camphor = 70 g

Mass of solution = [70 + 451.38] = 521.38 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of camphor}=\frac{70g}{521.38g}\times 100=13.43\%$

Hence, the molarity of solution is 0.799 M , molality of solution is 1.02 m, mole fraction of camphor is 0.045 and mass percent of camphor in solution is 13.43 %
