Answer:
The answer to your question is 92.7%
Explanation:
Balanced Chemical reaction
3 Zn + Fe₂(SO₄)₃ ⇒ 2Fe + 3ZnSO₄
Molecular weight
Zinc = 65.4 x 3 = 196.2g
Iron (III) = 56 x 2 = 112 g
Proportions
196.2 g of Zinc ------------------ 112 g of Iron
20.4 g of Zinc ----------------- x
x = (20.4 x 112) / 196.2
x = 2284.8/196.2
x = 11.65 g of Iron
% yield =
% yield = 0.927 x 100
% yield = 92.7
Answer : The percentage composition of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in a compound is, 38.8 %, 9.6 % and 51.6 % respectively.
Explanation :
To calculate the percentage composition of element in sample, we use the equation:
Given:
Mass of carbon = 1.94 g
Mass of hydrogen = 0.48 g
Mass of sulfur = 2.58 g
First we have to calculate the mass of sample.
Mass of sample = Mass of carbon + Mass of hydrogen + Mass of sulfur
Mass of sample = 1.94 + 0.48 + 2.58 = 5.0 g
Now we have to calculate the percentage composition of a compound.
Hence, the percentage composition of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in a compound is, 38.8 %, 9.6 % and 51.6 % respectively.
