Question

Nitrogen dioxide, a major air pollutant, can be produced by the combustion of nitrogen oxide as shown.


2NO + O2 -----> 2NO2


In a plant, 1,500 kg of nitrogen oxide is consumed per day to produce 1,500 kg of nitrogen dioxide per day. What is the percent yield?
21.7%
32.6%
43.5%
65.2%

Answer 1

hmmm
% yield= (actual/theoretical) * 100

Answer 2

what is the actual and what is the theoretical though

Answer 3

ok i think actual is the one the gave for NO2 =1500kg

Answer 4

whats theoritcal

Answer 5

mole of limiting reagent is compared with product mole

Answer 6

by ratio

Answer 7

mole = mass/ Mr
mole = 1500 000/ 60 =25 000 mole (i converted kg to g)

Answer 8

thats mole of NO

Answer 9

ration between NO and O is 2:1
if 2---- 25000mole
1- x mole

Answer 10

so x= 25000/2= 12 500mole for O2

Answer 11

as u see O2 mole is less then of N
so that means its limiting
thus we use mole of O2 as the main mole to compare with the product

Answer 12

ratio between O2 and NO2 is 1:2
1-- 12 500 mole
2 --- x
x= 12 500* 2 = 25 000 mole is produced
mass= mole * Mr
mass = 25000* 92= 2300000 g /1000= 2 300 kg is your theoretical yield

Answer 13

(1500/2300) *100= 65.2%

Answer 14

so D
im so sorry i guess u ran out of time?
