Consider the reaction between calcium oxide and carbon dioxide: cao ( s ) + co 2 ( g ) → caco 3 ( s ) a chemist allows 14.4 g of cao and 13.8 g of co 2 to react. when the reaction is finished, the chemist collects 19.4 g of caco 3 . determine the limiting reactant, theoretical yield, and percent yield for the reaction.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of calcium oxide = 14.4 g

Mass of carbon dioxide = 13.8 g

Actual yield of calcium carbonate = 19.4 g

Mass of calcium carbonate produced = ?

Limiting reactant = ?

Percent yield = ?

Chemical equation:

CaO + CO₂  → CaCO₃

Number of moles of CaO:

Number of moles of CaO = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles of CaO = 14.4 g / 56.1g/mol

Number of moles of CaO = 0.26 mol

Number of moles of CO₂:

Number of moles of CO₂= Mass /molar mass

Number of moles of CO₂ = 13.8 g / 44 g/mol

Number of moles of CO₂ = 0.31 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CaCO₃ with CO₂ and CaO.

                  CaO           :              CaCO₃

                    1               :                 1

                 0.26           :            0.26

                  CO₂           :                CaCO₃

                  1                 :                 1

                 0.31            :               0.31

The number of moles of CaCO₃ produced by CaO are less it will be limiting reactant.

Limiting reactant:

CaO

Theoretical yield:

Mass of CaCO₃ = moles × molar mass

Mass of  CaCO₃ = 0.26 mol × 100 g/mol

Mass of  CaCO₃ =  26 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = Actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 19.4 g/ 26 g× 100

Percent yield = 74.6 %

explanation:

venn diagram is pictorial representation with of circles showing the relation between two finite sets or things. the intersection part of two circles conveys the relation present in between those sets or things.

here in the venn diagram of sand and salt two circles represent sand and salt. but the area falling under the intersection of these circle represents the mixture of sand and salt.

so, in a venn diagram the mixture will be placed in a middle that is in between the intersection of two circles.
