Answer:

Approximately 81.84\%.

Explanation:

Balanced equation for this reaction:

{\rm Na_{2}CO_{3}}\, (aq) + {\rm CaCl_{2}} \, (aq) \to 2\; {\rm  NaCl}\, (aq) + {\rm CaCO_{3}}\, (s).

Look up the relative atomic mass of elements in the limiting reactant, \rm CaCl_{2}, as well as those in the product of interest, \rm CaCO_{3}:

  • \rm Ca: 40.078.
  • \rm Cl: 35.45.
  • \rm C: 12.011.
  • \rm O: 15.999.

Calculate the formula mass for both the limiting reactant and the product of interest:

\begin{aligned}& M({\rm CaCl_{2}}) \\ &= (40.078 + 2 \times 35.45)\; {\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ &= 110.978\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}.

\begin{aligned}& M({\rm CaCO_{3}}) \\ &= (40.078 + 12.011 + 3 \times 15.999)\; {\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ &= 100.086\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}.

Calculate the quantity of the limiting reactant (\rm CaCl_{2}) available to this reaction:

\begin{aligned}n({\rm CaCl_{2}) &= \frac{m({\rm {CaCl_{2}})}}{M({\rm CaCl_{2}})} \\ &= \frac{17.87\; \rm g}{110.978\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ &\approx 0.161023\; \rm mol \end{aligned}.

Refer to the balanced equation for this reaction. The coefficients of the limiting reactant (\rm CaCl_{2}) and the product ({\rm CaCO_{3}}) are both 1. Thus:

\displaystyle \frac{n({\rm CaCO_{3}})}{n({\rm CaCl_{2}})} = 1.

In other words, for every 1\; \rm mol of \rm CaCl_{2} formula units that are consumed, 1\; \rm mol\! of \rm CaCO_{3} formula units would (in theory) be produced. Thus, calculate the theoretical yield of \rm CaCO_{3}\! in this experiment:

\begin{aligned} & n(\text{${\rm CaCO_{3}}$, theoretical}) \\ =\; & n({\rm CaCl_{2}}) \cdot \frac{n({\rm CaCO_{3}})}{n({\rm CaCl_{2}})} \\ \approx \; & 0.161023\; {\rm mol} \times 1 \\ =\; & 0.161023\; \rm mol\end{aligned}.

Calculate the theoretical yield of this experiment in terms of the mass of \rm CaCO_{3} expected to be produced:

\begin{aligned} & m(\text{${\rm CaCO_{3}}$, theoretical}) \\ = \; & n(\text{${\rm CaCO_{3}}$, theoretical}) \cdot M(({\rm CaCO_{3}}) \\ \approx \; & 0.161023\; {\rm mol} \times 100.086\; {\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ \approx \; & 16.1161\; \rm g \end{aligned}.

Given that the actual yield in this question (in terms of the mass of \rm CaCO_{3}) is 13.19\; \rm g, calculate the percentage yield of this experiment:

\begin{aligned} & \text{percentage yield} \\ =\; & \frac{\text{actual yield}}{\text{theoretical yield}} \times 100\% \\ \approx \; & \frac{13.19\; {\rm g}}{16.1161\; {\rm g}} \times 100\% \\ \approx \; & 81.84\%\end{aligned}.

Determine whether each phrase describes carboxylic acids or esters.
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Carboxylic acids produce hydrogen bonds amongst themselves and possess lower vapor pressure. They generally possess a sour odor. When an acid and a base react with each other to produce salt and water and comprises the combination of hydrogen and hydroxide ions, the reaction is termed the neutralization reaction. Thus, when carboxylic acid reacts with base the reaction is termed neutralization.

On the other hand, esters are known for their pleasant fragrances. They do not produce hydrogen bonds amongst themselves and possess higher vapor pressure. A hydration reaction in which free hydroxide dissociates the ester bonds between the glycerol and fatty acids of a triglyceride, leading to the formation of free fatty acids and glycerol is termed saponification.

Thus, the given blanks can be filled with carboxylic acid, carboxylic acid, esters, esters, esters, and carboxylic acid.

Describe how the size of the sun compares to the sizes of the other stars.
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The sun's circumference is about 2,713,406 miles (4,366,813 km). It may be the biggest thing in this neighborhood, but the sun is just average compared to other stars. Betelgeuse, a red giant, is about 700 times bigger than the sun and about 14,000 times brighter.

You find a compound composed only of element "X" and hydrogen, and know that it is 91.26% element X by mass. Each molecule has 2
worty [1.4K]
Since you know the ratio of atoms, you can start to put a formula togeter. The formula might look like:<span>
X<span>H2.67 
</span></span>but since atoms can't come in fractional amounts, we have to multiply the formula by some number in order to turn 2.67 into a whole #, while still maintaining the ratio. Multiplying 2.67 by 3 yields 8, so the most likely ratio in the molecule is

X3H8<span>so the ratio of 1:2.67 is still maintained. The mass percent tells you that out of every 100g of compound, 91.26g is element X, so the other 8.74g must be H. Dividing each mass by the number of moles in the formula gets us the molar mass of each element (approximately). DIviding 8.74g by 8 gets 1.09, roughly the molar mass of hydrogen. Dividing 91.26g by 3 gets us 30.4, roughly the molar mass of phosphorus. Element X is most likely phosphorus</span>
