The highest atom economy
2CO + O₂ ⇒ 2CO₂
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
The reaction for the production of CO₂
Required
The highest atom economy
Solution
In reactions, there are sometimes unwanted products that can be said to be a by-product or a waste product. Meanwhile, the desired product can be said to be a useful product, which can be shown as the atom economy
of the reaction
the higher the atomic economy value of a reaction, the smaller the waste/ byproducts produced, so that less energy is wasted
The general formula:
Atom economy = (mass of useful product : mass of all reactants/products) x 100
<em>or
</em>
Atom economy = (total formula masses of useful product : total formula masses of all reactants/products) x 100
So a reaction that only produces one product will have the highest atomic value, namely the reaction in option C
Aluminum atomic number 13 becomes Neon with an atomic number of 10 when it loses three valence electrons.
No, within a crystal like structure or ionic lattice of sodium chloride, there are ions of Na and Cl. Na+ and Cl- respectively that are attracted to each other due to their opposite charges. Many of these ions form a crystal structure.
Carbon dioxide can’t exist in three states; Gas, Liquid & Solid. At normal temperatures and pressures, CO2 is colorless with a slightly pungent odor at high concentrations. If compressed and cooled to proper temperature the gas liquifies. Solid CO2, (dry ice) sublimates back to the natural gaseous state.
Based on the balanced chemical reaction presented above, every mole of magnesium (Mg) yields one mole of diatomic hydrogen (H2). When converted to masses, every 24.3 grams of magnesium yields 2 grams of hydrogen.
From the given, there are 20 grams of magnesium available for the reaction. With this amount, the expected yield of hydrogen is 1.646 grams. To calculate the percent yield, divide the actual yield to the hypothetical yield.
*The case is impossible because the actual yield is greater than the theoretical yield.
If we assume that there had been a typographical error and that the actual yield is 0.7 grams instead of 1.7 grams, the percent yield becomes 42.5%. Thus, the answer is letter E.
