Chapter 5, Problem 95P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The molar mass of DDT should be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Molar mass of a substance is defined as sum of atomic masses of all the individual atoms present in it.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The grams of DDT formed from 0.10 mol of chlorobenzene should be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

The formula to determine the number of moles is:

  $\text{number of mole = }\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The theoretical yield of DDT in grams from 11.3 g of chlorobenzene should be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

The amount that is predicted by the calculation of stoichiometry of the reaction is known as theoretical yield.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The percent yield of DDT should be predicted if 15.0 g of DDT formed in part (c).

Concept Introduction:

The amount that is predicted by the calculation of stoichiometry of the reaction is known as theoretical yield. The amount that is produced by a product in a reaction is known as the actual yield. The ratio of actual yield to the theoretical yield is called percentage yield of a reaction.
