Answer:

Theoretical Yield of SF₆ = 2.01 moles

Explanation: If you understand and can apply the methodology below, you will find it applies to ALL chemical reaction stoichiometry problems based on the balanced standard equation; i.e., balanced to smallest whole number coefficients.

Solution 1:

Rule => Convert given mass values to moles, solve problem using coefficient ratios. Finish by converting moles to the objective dimensions.

Given      S₈            +          24F₂            =>    8SF₆

             425g                    229g                      ?

= 425g/256g/mol.      = 226g/38g/mol.

= 1.66 moles S₈          = 6.03 moles F₂ <= Limiting Reactant

<em>Determining Limiting Reactant => Divide moles each reactant by their respective coefficient; the smaller value will always be the limiting reactant. </em>

S₈ = 1.66/1 = 1.66

F₂ = 6.03/24 = 0.25 => F₂ is the limiting reactant

<em>Determining Theoretical Yield:</em>

Note: When working problem do not use the division ratio results for determining limiting reactant. Use the moles F₂ calculated from 229 grams F₂ => 6.03 moles F₂. The division procedure to define the smaller value and limiting reactant is just a quick way to find which reactant controls the extent of reaction.  

Given      S₈            +          24F₂            =>    8SF₆

             425g                    229g                      ?

   = 425g/256g/mol. = 226g/38g/mol.

= 1.66 moles S₈          = 6.03 moles F₂ <= Limiting Reactant

<em>Max #moles SF₆ produced from 6.03 moles F₂ and an excess S₈ </em>

Since coefficient values represent moles, the reaction ratio for the above reaction is 24 moles F₂ to 8 moles SF₆. Such implies that the moles of SF₆ (theoretical) calculated from 6.03 moles of F₂ must be a number less than the 6.03 moles F₂ given. This can be calculated by using a ratio of equation coefficients between 24F₂ and 8SF₆  to make the outcome smaller than 6.03. That is,

moles SF₆ = 8/24 x 6.03 moles = 2.01 moles SF₆ (=> theoretical yield)  

S₈ + 24F₂ => 8SF₆

moles SF₆ = 8/24(6.03) moles = 2.01 moles

You would NOT want to use 24/8(6.03) = 18.1 moles which is a value >> 6.03.        

This analysis works for all reaction stoichiometry problems.

Convert to moles => divide by coefficients for LR => solve by mole mole ratios from balanced reaction and moles of given.

Here's another example just for grins ...

             C₂H₆O   +   3O₂     =>     2CO₂    + 3H₂O

Given:    253g          307g               ?               ?

a. Determine Limiting Reactant

b. Determine mass in grams of CO₂ & H₂O produced        

Limiting Reactant

moles  C₂H₆O = 253g/46g/mol = 5.5 moles  => 5.5/1 = 5.5

moles  O₂ = 307g/32g/mol = 9.6 moles         =><em>  9.6/24 = 0.4 ∴ O₂ is L.R.</em>

But the problem is worked using the mole values; NOT the number results used to ID the limiting reactant.  

 C₂H₆O   +       3O₂          =>     2CO₂    + 3H₂O

------------ 9.6 mole (L.R.)              ?               ?

mole yield CO₂ = 2/3(9.6)mole = 6.4 mole  (CO₂ coefficient < O₂ coefficient)

mole yield H₂O = 9.6mole  = 9.6mole (coefficients O₂ & CO₂ are same.)

mole used C₂H₆O = 1/3(9.6)mole = 3.2 mole (coefficient  C₂H₆O < coefficient O₂)

For grams => moles x formula weight (g/mole)

HELP ME I AM DUMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
densk [106]

Answer:

2H⁺(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(s) ⟶ Sr²⁺(aq) + 2H₂O(ℓ)

Explanation:

You aren't dumb. You just need more time to learn the concepts.

There are three steps you must follow. You must write the:

  1. Molecular equation
  2. Ionic equation
  3. Net ionic equation

1. Molecular equation

2HBr + Sr(OH)₂ ⟶ SrBr₂ + 2H₂O

To predict the states of the substances, we must remember some solubility rules:

  • HBr is a strong acid. It dissociates completely in water.
  • Most hydroxides are only slightly soluble. Unless the solution is quite dilute, I would write their states in water as "(s)", i.e., a suspension of the solid in water.
  • Salts containing Br⁻ are generally soluble.

Acids and bases react to give salts and water.

Thus, the molecular equation is

2HBr(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(s) ⟶ SrBr₂(aq) + 2H₂O(ℓ)

B. Ionic equation

You write all the soluble substances as ions.

2H⁺(aq)+ 2Br⁻(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(s) ⟶ Sr²⁺(aq) + 2Br⁻(aq) + 2H₂O(ℓ)

C. Net ionic equation

To get the net ionic equation, you cancel the ions that appear on each side of the ionic equation.

2H⁺(aq) + <u>2Br⁻(aq)</u> + Sr(OH)₂(s) ⟶ Sr²⁺(aq) + <u>2Br⁻(aq)</u> + 2H₂O(ℓ)

The net ionic equation is

2H⁺(aq) + Sr(OH)₂(s) ⟶ Sr²⁺(aq) + 2H₂O(ℓ)
