A student collecting CaCO3 produced by the reaction of Na2CO3(aq) and CaCl2(aq) obtains a percent yield of 81%. Choose all of th

e following observations that could explain the low yield.
a. The combined reactants were not stirred before filtering the precipitate.
b. The student did not completely dry the precipitate before weighing it.
c. The precipitate was not washed prior to drying.
d. A rubber policeman was not used to scrape precipitate from the beaker.

Answer:

a, d and e. are true.

Explanation:

The reaction that occurs is:

Na2CO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) → CaCO3(s) + 2NaCl

In ideal conditions, the percent yield of the reaction must be 100%. All explanations about why the student could not collect all precipitate are right:

a. The combined reactants were not stirred before filtering the precipitate. Not stirring could not promote all the reaction. <em>TRUE.</em>

b. The student did not completely dry the precipitate before weighing it. If the student don't dry the precipitate, the mass of precipitate must be higher producing a percent yield > 100%. <em>FALSE.</em>

c. The precipitate was not washed prior to drying. Produce more mass. <em>FALSE.</em>

d. A rubber policeman was not used to scrape precipitate from the beaker. If the student doesn't collect all the precipitate the percent yield could be < 100%.. <em>TRUE.</em>

e. The filter paper was not wetted with water prior to filtering the precipitate. <em>TRUE. </em>If you don't wet the filter paper you can lose a part of precipitate from the walls of this one.

dimulka [17.4K]
NO₂ is a brown gas while N₂O₄ is colorless. If heating causes a brown color to persist, then this means that heating causes the reaction to shift backwards and produce NO₂. Therefore, the reaction must be exothermic.

A mixture of gases containing 0.20 mol of SO2 and 0.20 mol of O2 in a 4.0 L flask reacts to form SO3. If the temperature is 25ºC
diamong [38]

Answer : The pressure in the flask after reaction complete is, 2.4 atm

Explanation :

To calculate the pressure in the flask after reaction is complete we are using ideal gas equation.

PV=n_TRT\\\\P=(n_1+n_2)\times \frac{RT}{V}

where,

P = final pressure in the flask = ?

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = temperature = 25^oC=273+25=298K

V = volume = 4.0 L

n_1 = moles of SO_2 = 0.20 mol

n_2 = moles of O_2 = 0.20 mol

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

P=(0.20+0.20)mol\times \frac{(0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times (298K)}{4.0L}

P=2.4atm

Thus, the pressure in the flask after reaction complete is, 2.4 atm
