Sulfur and oxygen react to produce sulfur trioxide. In a particular experiment, 7.9 grams of SO3 are produced by the reaction of

5.0 grams of O2 with 6.0 grams of S. What is the % yield of SO3 in this experiment? S (s) + O2 (g) → SO3 (g) (not balanced)

Result:

94.7 %

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

2 S + 3 O₂ → 2 SO₃

The stoichiometric mole ratio is:

S: 2 moles

O₂: 3 moles

Moles are calculated as mass divided by molar mass:

n = w / m

where n = moles, w = mass, m = molar mass.

Given:

For sulfur: w = 6.0 g, molar mass = 32 g/mol, so n = 6 / 32 = 0.1871 mol

For oxygen: w = 5.0 g, molar mass = 32 g/mol, thus n = 5 / 32 = 0.15625 mol

Comparing to stoichiometric ratios, sulfur is in excess, so oxygen is the limiting reagent, controlling product formation.

Using proportions:

3 mol O₂ produce 2 mol SO₃, so 1 mol O₂ yields 2/3 mol SO₃.

Therefore, 0.15625 mol O₂ yields (2/3) × 0.15625 = 0.1042 mol SO₃.

Mass of SO₃ produced = n × molar mass = 0.1042 mol × 80 g/mol = 8.340 g

The percentage yield is actual yield divided by theoretical yield times 100:

Percent yield = (7.9 g / 8.340 g) × 100 = 94.7 %

castortr0y [3046]
Hi, Due to calcium hydroxide being a strong base, its full dissociation will yield both calcium and hydroxyl ions: Thus, the concentration of hydroxyl ions mirrors that of the calcium hydroxide, allowing for the calculation of pOH as demonstrated below: Now, pH relates to pOH as: Consequently, the final pH is achieved.

What is the total number of atoms in 0.20 mol of propanone, CH3COCH3?
KiRa [2933]

Answer:

1.2×10²³ atoms.

Explanation:

In the problem, we see the data:

Mole of propanone = 0.20 mole

Calculating the number of atoms in propanone =?

According to Avogadro's principle, one mole of a substance contains 6.022×10²³ atoms.

This means that one mole of propanone also holds 6.022×10²³ atoms.

Thus, we can determine the atom count in 0.20 mole of propanone as:

1 mole of propanone contains 6.022×10²³ atoms.

Accordingly, 0.20 mole of propanone will have = 0.2 × 6.022×10²³ = 1.2×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, 0.20 mole of propanone contains

1.2×10²³ atoms.

1. If a car is traveling 90 mi/hr, how many feet will the car travel in 1 sec? In 5 sec?
alisha [2963]

Answer:

The vehicle travels 660 feet

Explanation:

Initially, convert the speed into Feet per second

The car's speed is 90 mi/hr

1 mi = 5280 ft

For 90 miles, we calculate 90 x 5280 = 475,200 feet

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore,

1 hour = 60 x 60 seconds = 3600 seconds

Speed is defined as the distance covered by an object over time. The speed formula is:

Speed =\frac{distance}{time}

Speed =\frac{90mi}{1hr}... given

Speed =\frac{475200 ft}{3600sec}

Speed = 132 ft/sec

Thus,  time = 5 seconds

Speed =\frac{distance}{time}

distance =speed\times time

distance = 132ft/sec\times 5sec

Distance = 660 feet

A 0.307-g sample of an unknown triprotic acid is titrated to the third equivalence point using 35.2 ml of 0.106 m naoh. calculat
Alekssandra [3086]
A triprotic acid is a type of Arrhenius acid that has the ability to donate three protons per molecule during dissociation in aqueous solutions. Thus, the chemical reaction, as outlined in the question, at the third equivalence point, can be expressed as: H3R + 3NaOH ⇒ Na3R + 3H2O, where R denotes the counter ion of the triprotic acid. Consequently, the ratio of reacted acid to base at this point is 1:3.
The moles of NaOH are calculated as 0.106M*0.0352L = 0.003731 mole. Therefore, the amount of H3R is 0.003731mole/3=0.001244mole.
Subsequently, the molar mass of the acid can be determined: 0.307g/0.001244mole=247 g/mol.
