Explanation:

Homogeneous catalysts are those that occupy the same phase as the reaction mixture (typically liquid or gas), while heterogeneous catalysts occupy a different phase. Generally, heterogeneous catalysts are solid compounds that are added to liquid or gas reaction mixtures.

If 9.8g water is used in electrolysis, what is the percent yield if 5.6g of oxygen was

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Approximately $64\%$ .

Explanation:

$\displaystyle \text{Percentage Yield} = \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \times 100\%$

The actual yield of $\rm O_2$ was given. The theoretical yield needs to be calculated from the quantity of the reactant.

Balance the equation for the hydrolysis of water:

$\rm 2\, H_2O \, (l) \to 2\, H_2\, (g) + O_2\, (g)$ .

Note the ratio between the coefficient of $\rm H_2O\, (g)$ and $\rm O_2\, (g)$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2\, (g)})}{n(\mathrm{H_2O\, (aq)})} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

This ratio will be useful for finding the theoretical yield of $\rm O_2\, (g)$ .

Look up the relative atomic mass of hydrogen and oxygen on a modern periodic table.

$\rm H$ : $1.008$ .
$\rm O$ : $15.999$ .

Calculate the formula mass of $\rm H_2O$ and $\rm O_2$ :

$M(\mathrm{H_2O}) =2\times 1.008 + 15.999 = 18.015\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

$M(\mathrm{O_2}) =2\times 15.999 = 31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Calculate the number of moles of molecules in $9.8\; \rm g$ of $\rm H_2O$ :

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{H_2O}) = \frac{m(\mathrm{H_2O})}{M(\mathrm{H_2O})} = \frac{9.8\; \rm g}{18.015\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 0.543991\;\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Make use of the ratio $\displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2\, (g)})}{n(\mathrm{H_2O\, (aq)})} = \frac{1}{2}$ to find the theoretical yield of $\rm O_2$ (in terms of number of moles of molecules.)

$\begin{aligned} n(\mathrm{O_2}) &= \displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2\, (g)})}{n(\mathrm{H_2O\, (aq)})} \cdot n(\mathrm{H_2O}) \\ &\approx \frac{1}{2} \times 0.543991\; \rm mol \approx 0.271996\; \rm mol \end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the mass of that approximately $0.271996\; \rm mol$ of $\rm O_2$ (theoretical yield.)

$\begin{aligned}m(\mathrm{O_2}) &= n(\mathrm{O_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{O_2}) \\ &\approx 0.271996\; \rm mol \times 31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1} \approx 8.70331 \; \rm g \end{aligned}$ .

That would correspond to the theoretical yield of $\rm O_2$ (in term of the mass of the product.)

Given that the actual yield is $5.6\; \rm g$ , calculate the percentage yield:

$\begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Yield} &= \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \times 100\% \\ &\approx \frac{5.6\; \rm g}{8.70331\; \rm g} \times 100\% \approx 64\%\end{aligned}$ .

In the gaseous state, chlorine exists as a diatomic molecule Cl2 (Molar mass = 70.9 g/mol). Calculate the number of moles of chl

kap26 [50]

Cl is stable as a diatomic molecule where the 2 Cl atoms are held together by a covalent bond

molar mass of the diatomic molecule is 70.9 g/mol

therefore 70.9 g of Cl₂ is - 1 mol

then 140 g of Cl₂ is - 1/70.9 x 140 = 1.97 mol

there are 1.97 mol of Cl₂ present

Relative to protons, electrons have:

saw5 [17]

Answer:

<u><em>(B.) a significantly lower mass that protons</em></u>

Explanation:

The mass (in g) of an electron is 9.11 × $10^{-28}$ g, which is significantly lower than the mass of protons and neutrons which are approximately the same. They are extremely small (equal to 0 amu), contributing nothing to the overall mass of the atom.

The nucleus has a mass of 1 amu and is positively charged.
