The percentage yield obtained from the given reaction above is 74.8%

<h3>Balanced equation </h3>

P₄ + 6Cl₂ → 4PCl₃

Molar mass of P₄ = 31 × 4 = 124 g/mol

Mass of P₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 124 = 124 g

Molar mass of PCl₃ = 31 + (35.5×3) = 137.5 g/mol

Mass of PCl₃ from the balanced equation = 4 × 137.5 = 550 g

<h3>SUMMARY</h3>

From the balanced equation above,

124 g of P₄ reacted to produce 550 g of PCl₃

<h3>How to determine the theoretical yield </h3>

From the balanced equation above,

124 g of P₄ reacted to produce 550 g of PCl₃

Therefore,

79.12 g of P₄ will react to produce = (79.12 × 550) / 124 = 350.9 g of PCl₃

<h3>How to determine the percentage yield </h3>

Actual yield of PCl₃ = 262.6 g
Theoretical yield of PCl₃ = 350.9 g

Percentage yield =?

Percentage yield = (Actual /Theoretical) × 100

Percentage yield = (262.6 / 350.9) × 100

Percentage yield = 74.8%

1 loop in the primary coil and 8 loops in the secondary. If the secondary voltage is 120 V, what must be the primary voltage

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

$V_{p} = 15 V$

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Number of loops in primary coil, Np = 1 loop.

Number of loops in secondary coil, Ns = 8 loops

Voltage in secondary coil, Vs = 120V

To find the voltage in the primary coil, Vp;

Transformer ratio is given by the formula;

$\frac{V_{p}}{V_{s}} = \frac{N_{p}}{N_{s}}$

Making Vp the subject of formula;

$V_{p} = \frac{N_{p}}{N_{s}} * V_{s}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$V_{p} = \frac{1}{8} * 120$

$V_{p} = \frac{120}{8}$

$V_{p} = 15 V$

Therefore, the voltage in the primary coil, Vp is 15 Volts.
