ANSWER:Problem 104EConsider the reaction:a. If 285.5 mL of reacts with 158.9 mL of (both measured at 315 K and 50.0mmHg), what is the limiting reactant and the theoretical yield of b. If 187.2 mL of is collected (measured at 315 K and 50.0 mmHg), what is thepercent yield for the reaction Step by step solutionStep 1 of 2(a)For the given reaction,To calculate the percent yield for the given reaction, first we need to calculate the number ofmoles of each gas from the ideal gas equation with respect to given information.From the given,Temperature = 315 KVolume =285.5 mL = 0.2855 L. Pressure 50.0 mmHgLet’s convert the atmosphere into torr.Since 1 atm = 760 torrThe ideal gas equation is as follows. ……….(1)Rearrange the equation (1)\n ..........................(2)Substitute the all given values in equation (2)The volume of gas at pressure 50.0 mmHgTemperature 315 KVolume = 158.9 mL = 0.1589 Lsince 1 atm =760 torrSubstitute the given values in the equation (2)_____________________________________________________________________________
