Answer:

a) Theoretical Yield of HF = 5.64 grams

b) Percentage Yield = 39%

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

Theoretical Yield of HF = 5.64 grams

b) Now, calculate the Percentage Yield of HF

Percentage Yield = Actual Yield /Theoretical Yield x 100

Percentage Yield = 2.2 g /5.64 g x 100

Percentage Yield = 39%

<span>Using PV=nRT, which represents a universal constant for any state, we have: P1V1/n1T1=R and P2V2/n2T2=R; This implies that: P1V1/n1T1=P2V2/n2T2 Thus we can express it as V1/n1=V2/n2. Rearranging yields: V2=V1 x (n2/n1) = 750 mL x ((0.65+0.35)/(0.65)) = 1200 mL = 1.2 L... with 2 significant figures</span>

lions [2927]

Answer:

The enthalpy of the second intermediate equation is altered by halving its value and changing the sign.

Explanation:

Let's examine both the first and second intermediate reactions alongside the overall equation concerning the examined process;

First reaction;

Ca (s) + CO₂ (g) + ½O₂ (g) → CaCO₃ (s) ΔH₁ = -812.8 kJ

Second reaction;

2Ca (s) + O₂ (g) → 2CaO (s) ΔH₂ = -1269 kJ

Thus, the overall reaction becomes;

CaO (s) + CO₂ (g) → CaCO₃ (s) ΔH =?

According to Hess's law, which states that the total heat change in a reaction is equal to the sum of the heat changes for each step, we cannot simply sum the enthalpies for this overall reaction. Instead, we obtain the overall enthalpy by halving the second intermediate reaction's enthalpy and changing its sign before adding, as illustrated below;

Enthalpy of Intermediate reaction 1 + ½(-Enthalpy of Intermediate reaction 2) = Enthalpy of Overall reaction

What features of this model will help Armando answer the question?
lions [2927]

Answer:

The adjustable legs along with the sand table.

Note: The question is incomplete. The full question is presented below.

Using Models to Address Questions Regarding Systems

Armando’s class was examining images of rivers shaped by flowing water. Most rivers appeared wide and shallow, except for one, which was narrow and deep. The students theorized that this river's narrowness and depth are due to:

  • the steepness of the hill from which the water descends, or
  • the diminutive size of the sand grains the water flows through.

To explore the answer to the question of why this river is so narrow and deep, Armando created the model outlined below.

Explanation:

The model constructed by Armando will facilitate addressing the question due to specific features:

1. Adjustable leg - as one theory proposed by the class suggests that the steep hill affecting the water's path could be the reason for the river's dimensions, the adjustable legs are designed to be raised or lowered to alter the slope, allowing testing of this theory.

2. Sand table - this acts as the streambed. By modifying the size of the sand grains, students can examine the second hypothesis that smaller sand grains contribute to the river's narrowness and depth.

The outcomes of their experimentation will lead them to a conclusion.
