Answer:

62.5%

Explanation:

Number of moles of camphor reacted= 1.6g/152.23 g/mol = 0.011 moles

Since the reaction is 1:1,  then 0.011 moles of isoborenol is also produced.

Theoretical yield of isoborenol produced = 154.25 g/mol * 0.011 moles = 1.698 g

% yield = actual yield/theoretical yield * 100

% yield =  1.062 g/1.698 g * 100

% yield =  62.5%

Be sure to answer all parts. What is the [H3O+] and the pH of a buffer that consists of 0.26 M HNO2 and 0.89 M KNO2? (K, of HNO2
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer : The H_3O^+ ion concentration is, 1.12\times 10^{-3}M and the pH of a buffer is, 2.95

Explanation : Given,

K_a=7.1\times 10^{-4}

Concentration of HNO_2 (weak acid)= 0.26 M

Concentration of KNO_2 (conjugate base or salt)= 0.89 M

First we have to calculate the value of pK_a.

The expression used for the calculation of pK_a is,

pK_a=-\log (K_a)

Now put the value of K_a in this expression, we get:

pK_a=-\log (7.1\times 10^{-4})

pK_a=4-\log (7.1)

pK_a=3.15

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[KNO_2]}{[HNO_2]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

pH=3.15+\log (\frac{0.89}{0.26})

pH=2.95

The pH of a buffer is, 2.95

Now we have to calculate the H_3O^+ ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H_3O^+]

2.95=-\log [H_3O^+]

[H_3O^+]=1.12\times 10^{-3}M

The H_3O^+ ion concentration is, 1.12\times 10^{-3}M
