Answer

find out the number of moles and use the molar ratio (numbers in front of formulas (in this case they are all 1) to determine how many moles of each product you are going to get theoretically

n=m/M is the equation to use to get moles here

30.8 gm/32.04 g/mol=0.9612 moles of the methanol and also of the formaldehyde so

0.9612 moles of the formaldehyde x molar mass (M) 30.73 g/mol= 29.54 gm which is the theoretical yield you already have the actual yield of 24.7 gm

then divide the actual by the theoretical to get the % yield which is 83.6%

What word chemical equation describes Cavendish’s experiment with zinc?

LiRa [457]

The chemical reaction of Cavendish involving zinc would be a reaction between hydrochloric acid and zinc yielding zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation would be:

2Zn + 2HCl = 2ZnCl + H2

This is an example of a single replacement reaction where zinc replaces hydrogen in the acid molecule.

Use bond energies to calculate the enthalpy of reaction for the combustion of ethane. Average bond energies in kJ/mol C-C 347, C

ivanzaharov [21]

The enthalpy of reaction for the combustion of ethane 2CH₃CH₃ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O calculated from the average bond energies of the compounds is -2860 kJ/mol.

The reaction is:

2CH₃CH₃ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O (1)

The enthalpy of reaction (1) is given by:

$\Delta H = \Delta H_{r} - \Delta H_{p}$ (2)
