Is the reaction above a replacement reaction? Explain.
If 3.22 g of precipitate are recovered from the reaction of limewater (Ca(OH),) with carbon dioxide to produce
water and calcium carbonate, what is the percent yield if 20.0 g of carbon dioxide was mixed with the
limewater?
the correct answer is 7.1% but i don't understand what they did
Answer:
Percent yield = 7.1%
Explanation:
The general reaction of the problem is:
Ca(OH)₂ + CO₂ → H₂O + CaCO₃
To solve this question we need to find theoretical yield using the amount of carbon dioxide added because:
Percent yield = Actual yield (3.22g) / Theoretical yield * 100
Theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that could be obtained. To find it we need to convert the mass of CO₂ to moles. The moles of CO₂ = Moles of CaCO₃:
Moles CO₂ -Molar mass: 44.01g/mol):
20.0g * (1mol / 44.01g) = 0.454 moles CO₂ = Moles of CaCO₃ produced
Mass CaCO₃ = Theoretical yield -Molar mass: 100.09g/mol-:
0.454 moles * (100.09g / mol) = 45.5g of CaCO₃ = Theoretical yield.
Replacing:
Percent yield = 3.22g / 45.5g * 100
Percent yield = 7.1%Which group of microorganisms has the ability to mutate?
how would I solve this problem?
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The goal in this set up is to make sure all units cancel each other.
Since we need to go from grams to atoms, our final unit should be atoms.
Using method of elimination, let's see why other options are wrong.
A - Although 'g' is cancelled out, we are left with moles^2 / atoms
B - Although 'g' is cancelled out, we are left with moles^2 / atoms
C - Although 'mol' is cancelled out, we are left with g^2 / atoms
