The percent yield of the reaction is 23.0%.
Here is the answer and explanation:
Percent Yield
The percent yield of a reaction is the actual yield of the product divided by the theoretical yield, multiplied by 100%. The theoretical yield is the amount of product that would be produced if the reaction went to completion.
We can calculate the molar flow rate using the following formula:
Molar flow rate = (flow rate) / (molar volume)
where:
Molar flow rate is in moles per minute (mol/min)
Flow rate is in liters per minute (L/min)
Molar volume is in liters per mole (L/mol)
The molar volume of a gas at STP is 22.4 L/mol. Using this information, we can calculate the molar flow rates of hydrogen and carbon monoxide:
Molar flow rate of H2 = (16.0 L/min) / (22.4 L/mol) = 0.72 mol/min
Molar flow rate of CO = (25.0 L/min) / (22.4 L/mol) = 1.11 mol/min
We can calculate the theoretical yield using the following formula:
Theoretical yield = (limiting reactant) * (moles of product per mole of limiting reactant)
where:
Theoretical yield is in moles
Limiting reactant is the reactant that is used up first
Moles of product per mole of limiting reactant is the stoichiometric coefficient of the product
The stoichiometric coefficient of methanol is 1, so the theoretical yield of methanol is:
Theoretical yield = (0.72 mol/min) * (1 mol/mol) = 0.72 mol/min
Finally, we can calculate the percent yield of the reaction:
Percent yield = (actual yield) / (theoretical yield) * 100%
where:
Percent yield is in percent (%)
Actual yield is in moles
Theoretical yield is in moles
The actual yield of methanol is 5.30 g/min. We can convert this to moles using the following formula:
Molar mass of methanol = 32.04 g/mol
Actual yield = (5.30 g/min) / (32.04 g/mol) = 0.165 mol/min
Using this information, we can calculate the percent yield of the reaction:
Percent yield = (0.165 mol/min) / (0.72 mol/min) * 100% = 23.0%
Therefore, the percent yield of the reaction is 23.0%.
