% yield = 74.35

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

12 dm³ ethene = 12 L

18.4 g ethanol(actual)

Required

The percentage yield

Solution

Reaction

C₂H₄(g) + H₂O(g) ⇒ C₂H₅OH(g)

Assume at STP, 1 mol gas = 22.4 L

mol ethene :

= 12 L : 22.4 L

= 0.538

From equation, mol ratio C₂H₅OH : C₂H₄ = 1 : 1, so mol C₂H₅OH = 0.538

Mass Ethanol (MW=46 g/mol) ⇒ theoretical

= 0.538 x 46

= 24.748 g

% yield = (actual/theoretical) x 100%

% yield = (18.4/24.748) x 100%

% yield = 74.35

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, they differ because a physical property is observed without changing the nature of the substance. On the other hand, a change in the nature of the substance must be carried out to observe a chemical property.

As examples, density, solubility and odor (physical properties) could be known by just analyzing a substance, nonetheless, pH, reactivity or combustibility must be known by submitting the substance to a specific chemical reaction.

Best regards.

An iron loses electrons. State the type of charge it will end up with

erastova [34]

Answer:

Most atoms do not have eight electrons in their valence electron shell. Some atoms have only a few electrons in their outer shell, while some atoms lack only one or two electrons to have an octet. In cases where an atom has three or fewer valence electrons, the atom may lose those valence electrons quite easily until what remains is a lower shell that contains an octet. Atoms that lose electrons acquire a positive charge as a result because they are left with fewer negatively charged electrons to balance the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. Positively charged ions are called cations. Most metals become cations when they make ionic

A chemist must prepare of 800.0 ml potassium hydroxide solution with a pH of 13.00 at 25Â°.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

4.48 grams is the mass of potassium hydroxide that the chemist must weigh out in the second step.

Explanation:

The pH of the solution = 13.00

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 13.00 = 1.00

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

$1.00=-\log[OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=10^{-1.00} M=0.100 M$

$KOH(aq)\rightarrow K^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)$

$[KOH]=[OH^-]=[K^+]=0.100 M$

Molariy of the KOH = 0.100 M

Volume of the KOH solution = 800 mL= 0.800 L

1 mL = 0.001 L

Moles of KOH = n

$Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume(L)}$

$0.100 M=\frac{n}{0.800 L}$

n = 0.0800 mol

Mass of 0.0800 moles of KOH :

0.0800 mol × 56 g/mol = 4.48 g

4.48 grams is the mass of potassium hydroxide that the chemist must weigh out in the second step.

andre [41]

A. The molecules of solids are close together and compact, liquids are spread out but not too far apart, and gas molecules are really far apart.

B. Increase in temperature causes pressure to go up. Decrease in temperature cause pressure to go down
