actual yield of ethanol = 305.0g

molar mass of sucrose = 342g

molar mass of ethanol =46g

mass of sucrose = 665g

mole of sucrose = mass / molar mass = 665/342

mole of sucrose =1.9 mole

sucrose : C2H5OH

1 : 4

1.9 : 1.9x4 =7.6 mole of C2H5OH are formed

mass (therotical yield ) of C2H5OH= mole x mass

mass (therotical yield ) of C2H5OH= 7.6 x 46 = 349.6g

percent yields of ethanol = actual /therotical x100

=305/349.6x100 = 87.24 %

A vessel that contains a mixture of nitrogen and butane has a pressure of 3.0 atm at 126.9 °C and a pressure of 1.0 atm at 0 °C. The mole fraction of nitrogen in the mixture is 0.33.

A vessel contains a gaseous mixture of nitrogen and butane. At 126.9 °C (400.1 K) the pressure is due to the mixture is 3.0 atm.

We can calculate the total number of moles using the ideal gas equation.

$P \times V = n \times R \times T\\\\n = \frac{P \times V}{R \times T} = \frac{3.0 atm \times V}{0.082 atm.L/mol.K \times 400.1 K} = 0.091 mol/L \times V$

At 0 °C (273.15 K), the pressure due to the gaseous nitrogen is 1.0 atm.

We can calculate the moles of nitrogen using the ideal gas equation.

$P \times V = n \times R \times T\\\\n = \frac{P \times V}{R \times T} = \frac{1.0 atm \times V}{0.082 atm.L/mol.K \times 400.1 K} = 0.030 mol/L \times V$

The mole fraction of nitrogen in the mixture is:

$X(N_2) = \frac{0.030 mol/L \times V}{0.091 mol/L \times V} = 0.33$

In each case, calculate the appropriate ratio to show that the information given is consistent with the law of multiple proporti

Alchen [17]

Answer:

(a) 3:2; (b) 2:1

Explanation:

The Law of Multiple Proportions states that when two elements A and B combine to form two or more compounds, the masses of B that combine with a given mass of A are in the ratios of small whole numbers.

That is, if one compound has a ratio r₁ and the other has a ratio r₂, the ratio of the ratios r is in small whole numbers.

(a) Ammonia and hydrazine.

In ammonia, the mass ratio of H:N is r₁ = 0.2158/1

In hydrazine, the mass ratio of H:N is r₂ = 0.1439/1

The ratio of the ratios is:

$r = \dfrac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} = \dfrac{ 0.2158}{0.1439} = \dfrac{1.500 }{1} = \dfrac{2.999}{2} \approx \mathbf{\dfrac{3}{2}}\\\\\text{The relative amounts of H in the two compounds are in the ratio }\boxed{\mathbf{\dfrac{3}{2}}}$

(b) Nitrogen oxides

In nitrogen monoxide, the mass ratio of O:N is r₁ = 1.142/1

In dinitrogen monoxide, the mass ratio of O:N is r₂ = 0.571/1

The ratio of the ratios is:

$r = \dfrac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} = \dfrac{ 1.142}{0.571} = \dfrac{2.000 }{1} \approx \mathbf{\dfrac{2}{1}}\\\\\text{The relative amounts of O in the two compounds are in the ratio }\boxed{\mathbf{\dfrac{2}{1}}}$
