(a)
Interpretation:
Theoretical yield for the given reaction needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The theoretical yield is the amount of product formed from the limiting reactant in the reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
The actual yield of the reaction needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Actual yield is the amount of product actually produced from fixed quantities of reactants is known as actual yield of the reaction.
(c)
Interpretation:
The percentage yield of the reaction needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Actual yield is the amount of product actually produced from fixed quantities of reactants is known as actual yield of the reaction.
The theoretical yield is the amount of product formed from the limiting reactant in the reaction.
The Percentage yield is thepercent ratio of actual yield and theoretical yield. It is calculated as follows:

- Gold metal will dissolve only in aqua regia, a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and concentrated nitric acid in a 3:1 volume ratio. The products of the reaction between gold and the concentrated acids are AuCl4-(aq), NO(g), and H2O. The equation for this reaction where HNO3 and HCl are strong acids is Au(s)+4Cl(aq)+4H+(aq)+NO3(aq)AuCl4(aq)+NO(g)+2H2O(a) What stoichiometric ratio of hydrochloric acid to nitric acid should be used? (b) What volumes of 12 M HCl and 16 M are HNO3 required to furnish the Cl- and NO3- ions to react with 25.0 g of gold?arrow_forwardTen mL of concentrated H3PO4 (91.7% by mass, d=1.69g/mL) was accidentally poured into a beaker containing 20.0 g of NaOH. Not all the NaOH was consumed. How many grams of NaOH were left unreacted? The equation for the reaction is H3PO4(aq)+3OH(aq)3H2O+PO43(aq)arrow_forwardOn Easter Sunday, April 3, 1983, nitric acid spilled from a tank car near downtown Denver, Colorado. The spill was neutralized with sodium carbonate: 2HNO3(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)2NaNO3(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) a. Calculate H for this reaction. Approximately 2.0 104 gal nitric acid was spilled. Assume that the acid was an aqueous solution containing 70.0% HNO3 by mass with a density of 1.42 glcm3. What mass of sodium carbonate was required for complete neutralization of the spill, and what quantity of heat was evolved? (Hf for NaNO3(aq) = 467 kJ/mol) b. According to The Denver Post for April 4, 1983, authorities feared that dangerous air pollution might occur during the neutralization. Considering the magnitude of H, what was their major concern?arrow_forward
