each week capechem, a manufacturer of fine chemicals, uses up 350 kg of compound a and 950 kg of compound b in a reaction with only one product, compound c.\nwhat is the maximum theoretical mass of compound c that capechem could ship each week?\nround your answer to the nearest kilogram.\nsuppose on average the percent yield of c in capechems reactors is 58. %. calculate the average amount of compound c that capechem actually ships each week.\nround your answer to the nearest kilogram.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Apply law of conservation of mass
According to the law of conservation of mass, in a chemical reaction where only one - product is formed from two reactants, the mass of the product is equal to the sum of the masses of the reactants. $m_{C_{theoretical}}=m_A + m_B$
Step2: Calculate theoretical mass of Compound C
Given $m_A = 350$ kg and $m_B=950$ kg. $m_{C_{theoretical}}=350 + 950=1300$ kg
Step3: Calculate actual mass of Compound C
The percent - yield formula is $\text{Percent Yield}=\frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}}\times100%$. We know the percent yield is $58%$ and the theoretical yield $m_{C_{theoretical}} = 1300$ kg. Let the actual yield be $m_{C_{actual}}$. $58%=\frac{m_{C_{actual}}}{1300}\times100%$ $m_{C_{actual}}=\frac{58\times1300}{100}$ $m_{C_{actual}} = 754$ kg
Answer:
The maximum theoretical mass of Compound C: 1300 kg The average amount of Compound C actually shipped: 754 kg
