A 15.9 g sample of sodium Carbonate is added to a solution of acetic acid weighing 20 g. the 2 substances react, releasing carbo

n dioxide gas to the atmosphere and water. after reaction, the contents of the reaction vessel weighs 29.3 g. what mass of carbon doixide was released into the atmosphere during the reaction?​

Answer:

hope that helps

Explanation:

The total mass of reactants taken = 15.9 + 20.0 = 35.9 gm. From the conservation of mass the final mass of the contents of the vessel should also be 35.9 gm. But it is only 29.3 gm. The difference is due to the mass of released carbon dioxide gas.Hence the mass of carbon dioxide gas released = 35.9 – 29.3 = 6.6 gm

A chemist determines by measurements that 0.030 moles of nitrogen gas participate in a chemical reaction. calculate the mass of
zzz [600]
Remember that: 
number of moles = mass/molar mass

First, we get the molar mass of the nitrogen gas molecule:
It is known the the nitrogen gas is composed of two nitrogen atoms, each with molar mass 14 gm (from the periodic table)
Therefore, molar mass of nitrogen gas = 14 x 2 = 28 gm

Second we calculate the mass of the precipitate:
we have number of moles = 0.03 moles (given)
and molar mass = 28 gm (calculated)
Using the equation mentioned before,
mass = number of moles x molar mass = 0.03 x 28 = 0.84 gm

Which of the following is not a reason why actual yield is less than theoretical yield?
Gnom [1K]
Your answer is B, conservation of mass


Recall that percent yield is given by: %Yeild = actual yeild/theoretical yeild x100

During experiments, there are errors made:

• uncertainty in measurements

• losses of reactants and products

• impurity in reactants

• losses during separation (e.g. filtration or purification)

• Some side reactions might also happen.



Among the given options, only conservation of mass does not contribute to a lower actual yield compared to the theoretical yield.
