The Balanced Chemical Equation is as follow;
4 KO₂ + 2 CO₂ → 2 K₂CO₃ + 3 O₂
First find out the Limiting Reagent,
According to equation,
284 g (4 moles) KO₂ reacted with = 44.8 L (2 moles) of CO₂
So,
27.9 g of KO₂ will react with = X L of CO₂
Solving for X,
X = (44.8 L × 27.9 g) ÷ 284 g
X = 4.40 L of CO₂
Hence, to consume 27.9 g of KO₂ only 4.40 L CO₂ is required, while, we are provided with 29 L of CO₂, it means CO₂ is in excess and KO₂ is is limited amount, Therefore, KO₂ will control the yield of K₂CO₃. So,
According to eq.
284 g (4 moles) KO₂ formed = 138.2 g of K₂CO₃
So,
27.9 g of KO₂ will form = X g of K₂CO₃
Solving for X,
X = (138.2 g × 27.9 g) ÷ 284 g
X = 13.57 g of K₂CO₃
So, 13.57 g of K₂CO₃ formed is the theoretical yield.
%age Yield = 13.57 / 21.8 × 100
%age Yield = 62.24 %
[Co(CN)₆]³⁻ → Yellow
[Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ → Orange
[CoF₆]³⁻ → Blue
Explanation:
- All the given compounds have octahedral geometry but the ligand in each are different with the same metal ion.
- Ligands strength order: CN⁻ > NH₃ > F⁻
- The ligand CN will act as a strong field ligand so that the splitting is maximum when compared to NH₃ and F⁻
- If the splitting is more, the energy required for transition is more, and the wavelength is inversely proportional to energy.
- So CN complex will absorb at lower wavelength (yellow color)
