[Cu(NH3)4]2+ + SO4(aq)2 + H2O [Cu(NH3)4]SO4•1H2O
What is the theoretical yield of the products?
To determine the theoretical yield of the products, we need to consider the balanced chemical equation and the limiting reactant.
From the given equation:
[Cu(NH3)4]2+ + SO4(aq)2- + H2O → [Cu(NH3)4]SO4•1H2O
The coefficients in the balanced chemical equation tell us the stoichiometric ratio in which the reactants combine to form the products. From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of [Cu(NH3)4]2+ reacts with 1 mole of SO4(aq)2- and 1 mole of H2O to produce 1 mole of [Cu(NH3)4]SO4•1H2O.
To determine the limiting reactant, we need to compare the moles of each reactant provided or given in the problem.
Once we know the limiting reactant, we can use its amount to determine the theoretical yield of the products.
If you provide the amount or concentration of the reactants, I can assist you in determining the limiting reactant and calculating the theoretical yield.
To determine the theoretical yield of a reaction, you need to calculate the maximum amount of product that can be formed based on the limiting reagent. In this case, [Cu(NH3)4]2+ is the limiting reagent because it is present in a smaller amount compared to the other reactants.
To calculate the theoretical yield, you need to use stoichiometry and the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows:
[Cu(NH3)4]2+ + SO4(aq)2- + H2O → [Cu(NH3)4]SO4•1H2O
According to the balanced equation, 1 mole of [Cu(NH3)4]2+ reacts with 1 mole of SO4(aq)2- and 1 mole of H2O to produce 1 mole of [Cu(NH3)4]SO4•1H2O.
To find the theoretical yield, you need to know the amount (in moles) of the limiting reagent ([Cu(NH3)4]2+ in this case). Let's assume that you have X moles of [Cu(NH3)4]2+.
Since the stoichiometry is 1:1:1:1 for the [Cu(NH3)4]2+, SO4(aq)2-, H2O, and [Cu(NH3)4]SO4•1H2O, the amount of [Cu(NH3)4]SO4•1H2O formed will also be X moles.
So, the theoretical yield of the [Cu(NH3)4]SO4•1H2O is X moles.
To determine the theoretical yield in grams, you need to know the molar mass of [Cu(NH3)4]SO4•1H2O. Add up the atomic masses of all the atoms present in the formula:
Cu: atomic mass = 63.55 g/mol
(NH3): atomic mass of N = 14.01 g/mol, atomic mass of H = 1.01 g/mol
SO4: atomic mass of S = 32.07 g/mol, atomic mass of O = 16.00 g/mol (x4)
H2O: atomic mass of H = 1.01 g/mol, atomic mass of O = 16.00 g/mol
Calculate the molar mass of [Cu(NH3)4]SO4•1H2O using the above values and multiply it by the number of moles (X) obtained earlier to get the theoretical yield in grams.
Note: This calculation assumes ideal conditions and complete conversion of reactants to products. In reality, there may be various factors that can affect the actual yield of the reaction.
Most stoichiometry problems are worked the same way. Here is a sample problem I posted earlier.
