100 grams of Na2CO3, 50 grams of C and 50 grams of N2 are mixed to obtain NaCN and CO according to the following reaction: Na2CO3 + C + N2 = NaCN + CO The purity of Na2CO3 is 97%, the purity of C is 63%, and the purity of N2 is 93%. If 50 grams of NaCN are obtained experimentally, Calculate the yield of the reaction.
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
100 grams of Na2CO3, 50 grams of C and 50 grams of N2 are mixed to obtain NaCN and CO according to the following reaction:
Na2CO3 + C + N2 = NaCN + CO
The purity of Na2CO3 is 97%, the purity of C is 63%, and the purity of N2 is 93%. If 50 grams of NaCN are obtained experimentally, Calculate the yield of the reaction.
