During an experiment, 104 grams of calcium carbonate reacted with an excess amount of hydrochloric acid. if the percent yield of the reaction was 80.15%, what was the actual amount of calcium chloride formed? caco3 + hcl → cacl2 + co2 + h2o 90.1 grams 92.4 grams 109.2 grams 115.3 grams

92.4 grams.

Explanation:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O,

1.0 mole of CaCO₃ reacts with 2.0 moles of HCl to produce 1.0 mole of CaCl₂, 1.0 mole of CO₂, and 1.0 mole of H₂O.

no. of moles of CaCO₃ = mass/molar mass = (104 g)/(100.08 g/mol) = 1.039 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

1.0 mole of CaCO₃ produce → 1.0 mole of CaCl₂.

∴ 1.039 mole of CaCO₃ produce → 1.039 mole of CaCl₂.

∴ The amount of CaCl₂ produced = no. of moles x molar mass = (1.039 mol)(110.98 g/mol) = 114.3 g.

∵ percent yield of the reaction = [(actual yield)/(theoretical yield)] x 100.

Percent yield of the reaction = 80.15%, theoretical yield = 115.3 g.

∴ actual yield = [(percent yield of the reaction)(theoretical yield)]/100 = [(80.15%)/(115.3 g)] / 100 = 92.42 g ≅ 92.4 g.

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
