The yield of aluminium obtained from 1 m^3 of bauxite is 419810 g

<h3>What is a Percent yield</h3>

A percent yield of a substance measures the amount of the substance actually obtained as a percentage ratio of expected yield.

Percent yield = actual yield / expected yield × 100%

<h3>How to calculate the mass of aluminium obtained from bauxite </h3>

From the data given:

40 % of the bauxite is converted to aluminium oxide.

Volume of bauxite = 1 m^3

40 % of 1 m^3 = 0.4 m^3

volume of aluminium oxide = 0.4 m^3

density of aluminium oxide = 3965 kg/m^3

  • Using mass = density × volume

mass of aluminium oxide = 0.4 × 3965 kg

mass of aluminium oxide = 1586 kg

Formula of aluminium oxide is Al203

molar mass of aluminium oxide = 102 g

  • percentage mass of aluminium in one mole of aluminium oxide = mass of aluminium / mass of aluminium oxide × 100 %

Percentage mass of aluminium in aluminium oxide = 54/102 × 100

Percentage mass of aluminium in aluminium oxide = 52.94 %

Expected mass of aluminium from aluminium oxide = 52.94 × 1586

Expected mass of aluminium = 839.62 kg

Actual yield = 40 % × 839.62

Actual yield of aluminium = 419.81 kg

mass of aluminium in grams = 419810 g

Therefore, mass of aluminium obtained from 1 m^3 of bauxite is 419810 g

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Percentage of carbon:

{ \tt{ =  \frac{24}{30}  \times 100\%}} \\  = 80\%

Percentage of hydrogen:

{ \tt{ =  \frac{6}{30}  \times 100\%} } \\  = 20\%

Determine the limiting reactant (lr) and the mass (in g) of nitrogen that can be formed from 50.0 g n2o4 and 45.0 g n2h4. some p
Licemer1 [7]
                                                   N2O4(l) + 2 N2H4(l) → 3 N2(g) + 4 H2O(g)
1) to calculate the limiting reactant you need to pass grams to moles.
<span> moles is calculated by dividing mass by molar mass
</span>
mass of N2O4: 50.0 g 
molar mass of <span>N2O4 = 92.02 g/mol
</span><span>molar mass of N2H4 = 32.05 g/mol.
</span>mass of N2H4:45.0 g

moles N2O4=50.0/92.02 g/mol= 0,54 mol of N2O4
moles N2H4= 45/32.05 g/mol= 1,40 mol of <span><span>N2H4

</span> 2)</span>
By looking at the balanced equation, you can see that 1 mol of N2O4 needs 2 moles of N2H4 to fully react . So to react  0,54 moles of N2O4, you need 2x0,54 moles of <span>N2H4 moles
</span><span>N2H4 needed = 1,08 moles.
You have more that 1,08 moles </span><span>N2H4, so this means the limiting reagent is not N2H4, it's </span>N2O4. The molecule that has molecules that are left is never the limiting reactant.

3) 1 mol of N2O4 reacting, will produce 3 mol of N2 (look at the equation)
There are 0,54 mol of N2O4 available to react, so how many moles will produce of N2?
1 mol N2O4------------3 mol of N2
0,54 mol N2O4--------x
x=1,62 mol of N2

4) the only thing left to do is convert the moles obtained, to grams.
We use the same formula as before, moles equal to mass divided by molar mass.
moles= \frac{grams}{molar mass}             (molar mass of N2= 28)
1,62 mol of N2= mass/ 28
mass of N2= 45,36 grams
