Asolid sample of rb2so3 weighing 6.24 g reacts with 1.38 l gaseous hbr, measured at 75°c and 0.953 atm pressure. the solid rbbr, extracted from the reaction mixture and purified, has a mass of 7.32 g.
(a) what is the limiting reactant?
(b) what is the theoretical yield of rbbr, assuming com- plete reaction?
(c) what is the actual percentage yield of product?

(a) HBr;

(b) 7.61 g;

(c) 96.2 %

Explanation:

Firstly, write the balanced chemical equation:

(a) Find moles of each reactant dividing the mass by the molar mass of rubidium sulfite, then applying the ideal gas law for HBr:

Find the limiting reactant by dividing each moles by the stoichiometric coefficients and comparing the two numbers:

That said, the equivalent of HBr is lower, so it's the limiting reactant.

(b) According to the balanced equation, the moles of HBr are equal to the moles of RbBr, so moles of RbBr theoretically are equal to:

Using the molar mass of RbBr, convert this into mass:

(c) To find the percent yield, divide the actual mass produced by the theoretical mass calculated in (b) and multiply by 100 %:

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.

the answer is true. hope it .
