Answer:

Distillation is an important commercial process that is used in the purification of a large variety of materials. However, before we begin a discussion of distillation, it would probably be beneficial to define the terms that describe the process and related properties. ... Elevation of the boiling point with an increase in external pressure, while important in cooking and sterilizing food or utensils, is less important in distillation.

Write the balanced reaction using the fewest whole number coefficients to describe the reaction between gaseous hydrogen and gas

Anastasy [175]

<u>Answer:</u> The percentage yield of water is 9.5 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of hydrogen = 14 moles

Moles of oxygen = 10 moles

The chemical equation for the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of hydrogen gas reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas

So, 14 moles of hydrogen gas will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 14=7mol$ of oxygen gas

As, given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent

Thus, hydrogen gas is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of hydrogen gas produces 2 moles of water

So, 14 moles of hydrogen gas will produce = $\frac{1}{2}\times 14=7mol$ of water

To calculate the percentage yield of water, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of water = 1.33 moles

Theoretical yield of water = 14 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of water}=\frac{1.33mol}{14mol}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of water}=9.5\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the water is 9.5 %.

Which phase change results with increased kinetic energy?

weqwewe [10]

An increase in kinetic energy corresponds to an increase in temperature. Out of boiling, condensation, freezing, and precipitation, boiling is the only one that indicates an increase in temperature.

A buffer is composed of nh3 and nh4cl. How would this buffer solution control the ph of a solution when a small amount of a stro

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

According to Le-chatelier principle, equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of $OH^{-}$ and keep same equilibrium constant

Explanation:

In this buffer following equilibrium exists -

$NH_{3}(aq.)+H_{2}O(l)\rightleftharpoons NH_{4}^{+}(aq.)+OH^{-}(aq.)$

So, $OH^{-}$ is involved in the above equilibrium.

When a strong base is added to this buffer, then concentration of $OH^{-}$ increases. Hence, according to Le-chatelier principle, above equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of $OH^{-}$ and keep same equilibrium constant.

Therefore excess amount of $OH^{-}$ combines with $NH_{4}^{+}$ to produce ammonia and water. So, effect of addition of strong base on pH of buffer gets minimized.
