Answer from: Fabito9069

The theoretical yield is calculated from the amount of the limiting reactant present.

Explanation:

The limiting reactant is one which is present in lesser amount than the other reactant (based on molar ratio requirement)

For example in formation of water we need one mole of hydrogen gas and half moles of oxygen gas. Now we have one mole of hydrogen gas and one mole of oxygen gas then the limiting reagent is hydrogen gas.

theoretical yield is the expected yield of a reaction calculated based on the moles or amount of limiting reagent present as the limiting reagent is going to be completely consumed during the reaction.

Answer : The correct option is, (D) The theoretical yield is calculated from the amount of the limiting reactant present.

Explanation :

Excess reagent : It is defined as the reactants not completely used up in the reaction.

Limiting reagent : It is defined as the reactants completely used up in the reaction.

Theoretical yield : It is calculated from the amount of the limiting reagent present in the reaction.

Actual yield : It is experimentally determined.

Hence, the correct option is, (D) The theoretical yield is calculated from the amount of the limiting reactant present.

Answer from: Quest

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !

)benzene and toluene form nearly ideal solutions. consider an equimolar solution of benzene and toluene. at 20 °c the vapour pressures of pure benzene and toluene are 9.9 kpa and 2.9 kpa, respectively. the solution is boiled by reducing the external pressure below the vapour pressure. calculate (i) the pressure when boiling begins, (ii) the composition of each component in the vapour, and (iii) the vapour pressure when only a few drops of liquid remain. assume that the rate of vaporization is low enough for the temperature to remain constant at 20 °c.
