Answer:

48.8%

Explanation:

The reaction has a 1:1 mole ratio so;

Number of moles of benzoic acid reacted = mass/molar mass = 3.8 g/122.12 g/mol = 0.03 moles

So;

0.03 moles of methyl benzoate is formed in the reaction

Mass of methyl benzoate formed = 0.03 moles * 136.15 g/mol = 4.1 g

percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield * 100/1

percent yield = 2.0 g/4.1 g * 100 = 48.8%

bearhunter [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>1865.5g</h3><h3>Explanation:</h3><h3 /><h2> first the chemical formular for ammonium hydroxide is NH4OH</h2><h3>its molarmass is given as N=14H=1O=16 </h3><h3> so we have 14 +1(2) +16+1 =35</h3><h2>also no of moles = mass / molarmass</h2><h3> we have 5.33×10 = mass/35 </h3><h2>therefore mass = 35 ×5.33×10 = 1865.5g</h2>

When an ionic compound dissolves in water:
Airida [17]

Answer:

d. each of the above (A, B, and C) occurs.

Explanation:

When an ionic species dissolves in water , the ionic compound dissociates into cation and anion , and the cation interacts with the negative end of the water molecules , and the anion interacts with the positive end of the water molecule .

During the process of dissolution , the interaction between , solvent - solute overcome the interaction between solute - solute molecules .

Hence , From the question , all the statement given are correct .

Znco3 has a molar mass of 125.40 g/mol. which of the conversion factors shown below correctly expresses this relationship as wel
Airida [17]
Answer : ZnCO_{3} will be 1 mole of ZnCO_{3} / 125. 40 g of ZnCO_{3}

Explanation : The molar mass and the formula units are the same thing in any compound so when given a molar mass of compound then one mole of that compound is divided by its molar mass. Where one mole will be equal to avogadro's number which is 6.022 X 10^{23}.
