1. What mass of CuO is required to make 10.0 g of Cu according to the reaction
2 NH3 +3CuO→ N 2 +3Cu+3 H 2 O
if the reaction has a 58.0% yield

2. A student reacts 25.0 mL of benzene (C6H6, density = 0.879g/mL) with a “nitrating


mixture” containing excess nitric acid to make 18.0 mL of nitrobenzene (C 6H5NO2,
density =1.204 g/mL) according to the equation

C 6 H 6 + HNO3 →C 6 H 5 NO 2+ H 2 O
a) What is the percentage yield of the reaction?

b) What mass of C6H6 is left unreacted?


3. The reaction SiO2 + 4HF(g) → SiF4(g) + 2H2 O (g) produces 2.50 g of H2O when 12.20 g
of SiO2 is treated with a small excess of HF.

a) What mass of SiF4 is formed?

b) What mass of SiO2 is left unreacted?

c) What is the percentage yield of the SiF44?

4. When 5.000 kg of malachite ore containing 4.30% of malachite, Cu2(OH)2CO3, is


heated, the product is copper (II) oxide:
Cu2 (OH )2 CO 3 → CO 2+2 CuO+ H 2 O
a) If the reaction has an 84.0% yield, how many grams of CuO are produced?

b) If the decomposition reaction has an 87.0% yield, what mass of ore


containing 3.70% malachite is required to produce 100.0g of CuO?
