Gaseous ethane (CH3CH3) reacts with gaseous oxygen gas (O2) to produce gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) and gaseous water (H2O). If 2.71 g of carbon dioxide is produced from the reaction of 3.31 g of ethane and 23.9 g of oxygen gas, calculate the percent yield of carbon dioxide.

The percent yield is 28.0 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of carbon dioxide = 2.71 grams

Mass of ethane = 3.31 grams

Mass of oxygen = 23.9 grams

Molar mass ethane = 30.07 g/mol

Molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass O2 = 32.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2C2H6 + 7O2 → 4CO2 + 6H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass /molar mass

Moles ethane = 3.31 grams / 30.07 g/mol

Moles ethane = 0.110 moles

Moles oxygen = 23.9 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles oxygen = 0.747 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles ethane we need 7 moles O2 to produce 4 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O

Ethane is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.110 moles)

Oxygen is the limiting reactant. There will react 0.110 *3.5 = 0.385 moles

There will remain 0.747 - 0.385 = 0.362 moles O2

Step 5: Calculate moles CO2

For 2 moles ethane we need 7 moles O2 to produce 4 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O

For 0.110 moles ethane we'll have 2*0.110 = 0.220 moles CO2

Step 6: Calculate theoretical yield of CO2

Mass CO2 = moles CO2 * molar mass CO2

Mass CO2 = 0.220 moles * 44.01 g/mol

Mass CO2 = 9.68 grams

Step 7: Calculate % yield

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100 %

% yield =(2.71 grams / 9.68 grams ) * 100 %

% yield =  28.0 %

The percent yield is 28.0 %

answer: i have one answer

acids are substances that ionize (break off) in an aqueous solution to produce hydrogen (h+) ions

explanation:

hope this and sorry i could only come up with one answer!

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
