Accepted Answer

$$75.5\%$$

Question 7

Which of the following steps is NOT part of the standard procedure for solving a stoichiometry problem?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

In a reaction, $$10$$ moles of $$\mathrm{H}_2$$ and $$7$$ moles of $$\mathrm{O}_2$$ are mixed and react according to $$2 \mathrm{H}_2 + \mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}. $$After the reaction, how many moles of $$\mathrm{O}_2$$ remain?

Accepted Answer

$$2$$ moles

Question 9

Which real-world process is an example of a chemical reaction used to reduce environmental pollution by removing sulfur dioxide from power plant exhaust?

Accepted Answer

Flue gas desulfurization

Question 10

If $$1.50 g of $$salicylic acid ($$\mathrm{C}_7\mathrm{H}_6\mathrm{O}_3) $$reacts with $$11.20 g of $$methanol ($$\mathrm{CH}_3\mathrm{OH}) to $$produce $$1.31 g of $$methyl salicylate ($$\mathrm{C}_8\mathrm{H}_8\mathrm{O}_3$$), what is the percent yield?

Accepted Answer

$$79.2\%$$

Question 11

Which of the following best explains why the actual yield of a chemical reaction is often less than the theoretical yield?

Accepted Answer

Side reactions and incomplete reactions can reduce the amount of product formed.
