A student reacts 5.0 g of sodium with 10.0 g of chlorine and collect 5.24 g of sodium chloride. What is the percent yield of thi

Ede4ka [16]

Answer: The percent yield of this combination reaction is 41.3 %

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $Na$ = 5.0 g

Mass of $Cl_2$ = 10.0 g

Molar mass of $Na$ = 23 g/mol

Molar mass of $Cl_2$ = 71 g/mol

First we have to calculate the moles of $Na$ and $Cl_2$ .

$\text{Moles of }Na=\frac{\text{Given mass }Na}{\text{Molar mass }Na}$

$\text{Moles of }Na=\frac{5.0g}{23g/mol}=0.217mol$

and,

$\text{Moles of }Cl_2=\frac{\text{Given mass }Cl_2}{\text{Molar mass }Cl_2}$

$\text{Moles of }Cl_2=\frac{10.0g}{71g/mol}=0.141mol$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical equation will be:

$2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $Na$ react with 1 mole of $Cl_2$

So, 0.217 moles of $Na$ react with $\frac{0.217}{2}=0.108$ moles of $Cl_2$

From this we conclude that, $Cl_2$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $Na$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $NaCl$

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $Na$ react to give 2 mole of $NaCl$

So, 0.217 mole of $HCl$ react to give 0.217 mole of $NaCl$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $NaCl$

$\text{ Mass of }NaCl=\text{ Moles of }NaCl\times \text{ Molar mass of }NaCl$

Molar mass of $NaCl$ = 58.5 g/mole

$\text{ Mass of }NaCl=(0.217moles)\times (58.5g/mole)=12.7g$

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of this reaction.

Percent yield = $\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Actual yield = 5.24 g

Theoretical yield = 12.7 g

Percent yield = $\frac{5.24g}{12.7g}\times 100$

Percent yield = 41.3 %

Therefore, the percent yield of this combination reaction is 41.3 %

How do the metals in group 1 compare with the transition metals?

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Group 1 metals and transition metals are different from each other, mainly based on the colour of the chemical compounds that they form. The key difference between group 1 metals and transition metals is that the group 1 metals form colourless compounds, whereas the transition metals form colourful compounds.

Specific Heat Practice

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

<u>Specific Heat of water</u> = 4.186 J/(g-C)

J/(g-C) multiplied by g and C results in J

4.186 * 540 * (95-32) = <u>142 407 .72 J</u>

How many electrons fit in the part of the third energy level shown

makkiz [27]

Answer:

18 electrons

Explanation:

Note: The third energy level can actually hold up to 18 electrons, so it is not really filled when it has 8 electrons in it.
