I’m pretty sure the answer is D :)
Explanation:
Contributing structures are the resonating structures which are formed due to the delocalization of electrons in a molecule.
The azide ion that is , is a symmetrical ion, all of whose contributing structures have formal charges.
Lone pair of central nitrogen atom in azide ion is in conjugation with the neighboring nitrogen atoms.
Contributing structures of azide ion are drawn in the image attached.
We know that when calculating percent yield, we use the equation:
Since the quantities that we are given in the question are equal, we can just directly divide them to find percent yield:
So now we know that the percent yield of the synthesis is 87.27%.
Answer:
71.372 g or 0.7 moles
Explanation:
We are given;
- Moles of Aluminium is 1.40 mol
- Moles of Oxygen 1.35 mol
We are required to determine the theoretical yield of Aluminium oxide
The equation for the reaction between Aluminium and Oxygen is given by;
4Al(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2Al₂O₃(s)
From the equation 4 moles Al reacts with 3 moles of oxygen to yield 2 moles of Aluminium oxide.
Therefore;
1.4 moles of Al will require 1.05 moles (1.4 × 3/4) of oxygen
1.35 moles of Oxygen will require 1.8 moles (1.35 × 4/3) of Aluminium
Therefore, Aluminium is the rate limiting reagent in the reaction while Oxygen is the excess reactant.
4 moles of aluminium reacts to generate 2 moles aluminium oxide.
Therefore;
Mole ratio Al : Al₂O₃ is 4 : 2
Thus;
Moles of Al₂O₃ = Moles of Al × 0.5
= 1.4 moles × 0.5
= 0.7 moles
But; 1 mole of Al₂O₃ = 101.96 g/mol
Thus;
Theoretical mass of Al₂O₃ = 0.7 moles × 101.96 g/mol
= 71.372 g
