1) Chemical equation

H2 (g) + Br2 (g) ---> 2 HBr

2) molar ratios

1 mol H2 : 1 mol Br2 : 2 moles HBr

3) convert 30.0 g of H2 to number of moles

moles = mass in grams / molar mass = 30.0 g / 2.02 g/mol = 14.85 moles

4) calculate theoretical yield

2 moles HBr / 1 mol H2 = x / 14.85 moles H2

=> x = 14.85 moles H2 * 2 moles HBr / 1 mol H2 = 29.7 moles HBr

5) convert 59.52 moles HBr to mass

mass = number of moles * molar mass = 29.7 moles * 80.91 g /mol = 2403.03 g

6) percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100 = (85.00g / 2403.03g)*100 = 3.54%

3.54%

Ok, lets see the definitions of percent yield, actual yield and theoretical yield.

Percent yield is the ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield.

Actual yield- amount of product produced in the EXPERIMENT.

Theoretical yield- max amount of product produced through CALCULATIONS

% yield= actual yield (from experiment)/theoretical yield (from calculation) *100

1st Step: Write the reaction

H2 + Br2 --> 2 HBr

2nd Step: Get the mass ratio of H2 and HBr to find theoretical yield

1 mole H2 gives 2 moles HBr ( molar mass of H2= 2 g/mol, HBr= 81 g/mol)

2 g H2 gives 2*81= 162 g HBr

30 g H2 gives 162*30/2 = 2430 g HBr ( The equation is 2 g H2/ 30 gH2= 162 g HBr/ x g HBr)

So theoretically 2430 g HBr are produced by calculation ( THEORETICAL YIELD)

By experiment 85 g HBr are produced as it is given at the question ( ACTUAL YIELD)

% yield= actual yield / theoretical yield *100 = 85/2430 *100= 3.5 %

The percent yield is 3.5 %.

the equation that correctly represent the reaction for formation of ammonia is

n2+ 3h2 → 2nh3 (answer d)

1 mole of nitrogen gas (n2) react with 3 moles of hydrogen gas (h2) to form 2 moles of ammonia ( nh3). this is in a process known as haber process were iron is used as a catalyst and reaction take place that a higher temperature and pressure. the process is exothermic hence energy is released.

Achemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. he carefully weighs out of oxalic acid , a diprotic acid that can be purchased inexpensively in high purity, and dissolves it in of distilled water. the student then titrates the oxalic acid solution with his sodium hydroxide solution. when the titration reaches the equivalence point, the student finds he has used of sodium hydroxide solution.calculate the molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution. be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
