Answer:

Percent yield of ether = 83.18%

Explanation:

Equation of the synthesis reaction of ether from ethanol is given as follows :

2 C₂H₅OH -----> C₂H₅OC₂H₅ + H₂0

Density = mass / volume

Therefore mass = density × volume

Density of ether = 0.7134 g/mL; volume of ether produced = 1.11 L = 1110 mL; Molar mass of ether = 74 g/mol

Mass of ether produced = 0.7134 g/mL × 1110 mL = 791.874 g

Density of ethanol = 0.789 g/mL; volume of ethanol = 1.50 L = 1500 mL; molar mass of ethanol = 46 g/mol

Mass of ethanol reacted = 0.789 g/mL × 1500 mL = 1183.5 g

From the equation of reaction, 2 mole of ethanol produces 1 mole of ether

Mass of 2 moles of ethanol = 2 × 46 = 92 g

Therefore, 92 g of ethanol produces 74 g of ether

1183.5 g of ethanol will produce 1183.5 × 74/92 grams of ether = 951.945 g of ether

Percent yield of ether = actual yield/theoretical yield × 100%

Actual yield of ether = 791.874 g; theoretical yield of ether = 951.945 g

Percent yield of ether = (791.874 g × 951.945 g) × 100 %

Percent yield of ether = 83.18%

The equilibrium constant, K, for the following reaction is 5.10X10 at 548 K. NH_CH(s) 2 NH3(E) + HC1(2) Calculate the equilibriu

Serga [27]

Answer:

The equilibrium concentration of HCl is 0.01707 M.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant of the reaction = $K_c=5.10\times 10^{-6}$

Moles of ammonium chloride = 0.573 mol

Concentration of ammonium chloride = $\frac{0.573 mol}{1.00 L}=0.573 M$

$NH_4HCl(s)\rightleftharpoons 2 NH_3(g) + HCl(g)$

Initial: 0.573 0 0

At eq'm: (0.573-x) x x

We are given:

$[NH_4Cl]_{eq}=(0.573-x)$

$[HCl]_{eq}=x$

$[NH_3]_{eq}=x$

Calculating for 'x'. we get:

The expression of $K_{c}$ for above reaction follows:

$K_c=\frac{[HCl][NH_3]}{[NH_4Cl]}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5.10\times 10^{-6}=\frac{x\times x}{(0.573-x)}$

$2.9223\times 10^{-6}-5.10x\times 10^{-6}=x^2$

$x^2-2.9223\times 10^{-6}+(5.10\times 10^{-6})x=0$

On solving this quadratic equation we get:

x = 0.01707 M

The equilibrium concentration of HCl is 0.01707 M.

Which of the following statements is true of the bonds in a water molecule?

Yuri [45]

Answer:

oxygen holds electrons more tightly than hydrogen does, and the net charge is zero.

Explanation:

The bonds in water are covalent in nature.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial negative.
