Titanium dioxide, TiO₂, reacts with carbon and chlorine to give gaseous TiCl₄: TiO₂+2C+2CI₂−TiCI₄+2CO The reaction of 7.39 kg titanium dioxide with excess C and Cl₂ gives 14.24 kg titanium tetrachloride. Calculate the theoretical yield of TiCl₄ (assuming complete reaction) and its percentage yield.

Respuesta :

Answer:

17.57kg of [tex]TiCl_{4}[/tex] and its percentage yield is 81.0%

Explanation:

Through the reaction you can get the theoretical amount of  [tex]TiCl_{4}[/tex] that must be produced.

[tex]7.39kgTiO_{2}x\frac{1kmolTiO_{2} }{79.867kgTiO_{2}}x \frac{1kmolTiCl_{4}}{1kmolTiO_{2}}x\frac{189.867kgTiCl_{4} }{1kmolTiCl_{4}}=17.57kgTiCl_{4}[/tex]

If the amount obtained is less than the theoretical amount, it means that the initial sample was not 100% pure. Now the actual amount obtained is compared with the theoretical amount using a percentage

[tex]yield=\frac{actual amount}{theoretical amount}x100= \frac{14.24kg}{17.57kg}x100[/tex]=81.0%

The theoretical yield and percentage yield of TiCl₄  are:

1. The theoretical yield of TiCl₄ is 17.55 Kg

2. The percentage yield of TiCl₄ is 81.14%

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

TiO₂ + 2C + 2CI₂ −> TiCI₄ + 2CO

Molar mass of TiO₂ = 48 + (16×2) = 80 g/mol

Mass of TiO₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 80 = 80 g

Divide by 1000 to express in Kg

80 / 1000 = 0.08 kg

Molar mass of TiCI₄ = 48 + (35.5×4) = 190 g/mol

Mass of TiCI₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 190 = 190 g

Divide by 1000 to express in Kg

190 / 1000 = 0.19 Kg

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

0.08 kg of TiO₂ reacted to produce 0.19 Kg of TiCI₄

1. Determination of the theoretical yield of TiCI₄

From the balanced equation above,

0.08 kg of TiO₂ reacted to produce 0.19 Kg of TiCI₄.

Therefore,

7.39 kg of TiO₂ will react to produce = [tex]\frac{7.39 * 0.19}{0.08}\\\\[/tex] = 17.55 Kg of TiCI₄.

Thus, the theoretical yield of TiCI₄ is 17.55 Kg

2. Determination of the percentage yield of TiCI₄

Actual yield = 14.24 kg

Theoretical yield = 17.55 Kg

Percentage yield =?

[tex]Percentage yield = \frac{Actual}{Theoretical} * 100\\\\= \frac{14.24}{17.55} * 100\\\\[/tex]

= 81.14%

Therefore, the percentage yield of TiCI₄ is 81.14%
