Answer:

26.9 g

81%

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

4 KO2(s) + 2 CO2(g) → 3 O2(g) + 2 K2CO3(s)

Number of moles of KO2= 27.9g/71.1 g/mol = 0.39 moles

4 moles of KO2 yields 2 moles of K2CO3

0.39 moles of KO2 yields 0.39 × 2/4 = 0.195 moles of K2CO3

Number of moles of CO2 = 57g/ 44.01 g/mol = 1.295 moles

2 moles of CO2 yields 2 moles of K2CO3

1.295 moles of CO2 yields 1.295 × 2/2 = 1.295 moles of K2CO3

Hence the limiting reactant is KO2

Theoretical yield = 0.195 moles of K2CO3 × 138.205 g/mol = 26.9 g

Percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 21.8/26.9 × 100

Percent yield = 81%

What volume of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed to prepare eight 3 ounce bottles of 10% tca solution?
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

295.7 mL of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed .

Explanation:

Let the volume of 24% trichloroacetic acid solution be x

Volume of required 10% trichloroacetic acid solution =8 bottles of 3 ounces

= 24 ounces = 709.68 mL

(1 ounces =  29.57 mL)

Amount of trichloroacetic acid in 24% solution of x volume of solution will be equal to amount of trichloroacetic acid in 10% solution of volume 709.68 mL.

x\times \frac{24}{100}=709.68 mL\times \frac{10}{100}

x = 295.7 mL

295.7 mL of 24% trichloroacetic acid (tca) is needed .
