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%

B. from 52 moles of nitric acid, how many moles of silver nitrate will be produced?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

39 mol AgNO3

Explanation:

We have the equation 4HNO3 + 3Ag -----> 3AgNO3 + NO + 2H2O

We want to calculate the number of silver nitrate (AgNO3) moles that would be produced from 52 moles of nitric acid ( HNO3 )

We can calculate this by using mole ratio as well as dimensional analysis.

The mole ratio of Silver nitrate to nitric acid based on the balanced equation is 3AgNO3:4HNO3.

Using this we can create a table: The table is attached.

Breakdown of the table.

The moles of nitric acid cancel out and we multiply 52 by 3/4 to get 39 moles of Silver nitrate.
