Answer:

a) <em>Theoretical Yield of HF = 5.64 grams</em>

b) <em>Percentage Yield = 39%</em>

Explanation:

Reaction Given:

CaF2 + H2SO4 -> CaSO4 + 2HF

CaF2 = 11g

H2SO4 = Used in excess

HF = 2.2 g production = Actual Yield

So, Let's write down the molar masses:

Molar Mass of CaF2 = 78 g /mol

Molar Mass of HF = 20 g/mol

From the reaction, we can see the 1 mole of CaF2 gives the 2 moles of HF

i.e

a) Theoretical Yield of HF:

1 mole CaF2 = 2 moles HF

78 g CaF2 = 2 x 20 g of HF

78 g CaF2 = 40 g of HF

1 g CaF2 = 40g/78g of HF

And in the question it is given that chemist used 11 g of CaF2 so,

1 x 11 g of CaF2 = 11 x 40/78 g of HF

11 g of CaF2 = 440/78 g of HF

11 g of CaF2 = 5.64 g of HF

And this is the theoretical yield

<em>Theoretical Yield of HF = 5.64 grams</em>

b) Now, calculate the Percentage Yield of HF

<em>Percentage Yield = Actual Yield /Theoretical Yield x 100</em>

Percentage Yield = 2.2 g /5.64 g x 100

Percentage Yield = 39%

What is the bronsted acid of NO2- + H2O HNO2 + OH-​
sammy [17]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

H2O -Bronsted Acid

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Bronsted-Lowry acids are  H+ donors , while Bronsted-Lowry bases are H+ acceptors .
  • A reaction of a Bronsted-Lowry acid and a Bronsted base is a neutralization reaction that is characterized by H+ transfer.
  • The above reaction is an example of base ionization or dissociation where;

                 B (aq) + H2O (l) → BH+ (aq) + OH– (aq)

          That is; Base + Acid will give a conjugate acid + hydroxide ion

  • In our case; NO2- + H2O → HNO2 + OH-​ ; H2O is the H+ donor and thus, it is a Bronsted Acid.
