Answer:

The percent yield of Br₂ in this reaction amounts to 96.15%

Explanation:

The reaction's balanced stoichiometric equation is:

2 NaBr + 1 Cl₂ → 2 NaCl + 1 Br₂

To calculate the percent yield:

Percent yield = 100% × (Actual yield)/(Theoretical yield)

To determine the theoretical yield:

5.29 g of NaBr reacts with an excess of chlorine; therefore, NaBr is the limiting reagent, controlling the possible yield of products.

We convert 5.29 g of NaBr to moles.

Number of moles = (Mass)/(Molar mass)

Molar Mass of NaBr = 102.894 g/mol

Number of moles = (5.29/102.894) = 0.0514121329 = 0.05141 mole

According to the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaBr yield 1 mole of Br₂

Thus, 0.05141 mole of NaBr will produce (0.05141×1/2) mole of Br₂, which is 0.0257 mole of Br₂

Theoretical yield = Expected mass of Br₂ from the reaction

= (Number of moles) × (Molar mass)

Molar mass of Br₂ = 159.808 g/mol

Theoretical yield of Br₂ = 0.0257 × 159.808 = 4.108 g

Calculating the percent yield:

Percent yield = 100% × (Actual yield)/(Theoretical yield)

Actual yield = 3.95 g

Theoretical yield = 4.108 g

Percent yield = 100% × (3.95/4.108) = 96.15%

Hope this is helpful!!!

Tems11 [2777]

Answer:

Unfavorable reactions include Reaction A and Reaction B.

Favorable coupled reactions: Reactions B with C and Reactions A with C.

Net energy change:

For Reactions B and C: -14.2 kJ/mol

For Reactions A and B: 30.1 kJ/mol

For Reactions A and C: -16.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

A reaction is considered thermodynamically favorable (or spontaneous) if ΔG is less than 0. Thus, the unfavorable reactions where -ΔG is greater than 0 are:

Reaction A and Reaction B.

In coupling Reaction C with Reaction B and Reaction A, the following equation is obtained:

ATP + fructose-1,6-phosphate ⟶ ADP + fructose-1,6-bisphosphate

ΔG equals 16.3 minus 30.5, resulting in -14.2 kJ/mol.

For the reaction ATP + glucose ⟶ ADP + glucose-6-phosphate, ΔG equals 13.8 minus 30.5, yielding -16.7 kJ/mol.

Overall, the coupled reaction of A and B results in a change of free energy of:

ΔG = 13.8 plus 16.3, which equals 30.1 kJ/mol.

The combustion of propane (c3h8) produces co2 and h2o: c3h8 (g) + 5o2 (g) → 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g) the reaction of 2.5 mol of o2 wi

Anarel [2989]

The reaction will yield 2 mol of H₂O. The balanced chemical equation for this process is: c3h8 (g) + 5o2 (g) → 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g). Since 5 moles of O₂ create 4 moles of H₂O, 2.5 mol of O₂ will produce: 2.5 x 4/5 = 2 mol of H₂O.

Phthalic acid is a diprotic acid having the formula HO2CC6H4CO2H that can be converted to a salt by reaction with base. Which of

KiRa [2933]

Answer:

D) NaO2CC6H4CO2K

Explanation:

Water acts as a polar solvent and is known to solvate polar substances. This characteristic allows solute molecules to engage with the solvent, resulting in increased solubility of a molecule as its polarity rises. Consequently, the salt derived from phthalic acid shows greater solubility in water compared to phthalic acid itself. Although both monosodium and monopotassium salts exhibit higher solubility than phthalic acid, the dialkali phthalate salt (NaO2CC6H4CO2K) possesses the highest solubility due to its greater polarity.
