Silicon dioxide and hydrofluoric acid (hydrogen fluoride) react to produce hexafluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) and water. Calculate the % yield if 40.0 g of silicon dioxide reacts with 40.0 g of hydrofluoric acid and 45.8g of hexafluorosilicic acid is produced.

Which statement is true about a catalyst? a: a catalyst decreases the rate of the reaction. b. a catalyst is consumed during a chemical reaction. c. a catalyst lowers the activation energy of a reaction. d. a catalyst increases the reactant concentration during a reaction.

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. in the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide: cac2 (s) + 2h2o (g) → c2h2 (g) + caoh2 (s) =δh−414.kj in the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid: 6c2h2 (g) + 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g) → 5ch2chco2h (g) =δh132.kj calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. round your answer to the nearest kj .

We are hoping to create 5.72 grams of glucose. the plant was given 4.75 liters of co2 and 2.81 g of h20. which reactant was the limiting reagent? how much excess mass did we have of the other reactant?
