6. In a certain manufacturing company, the main process is dependent on one chemical reaction
and that is:
N2O5 N2O4 + O2
According to its accounting department, for the company to remain competitive and remain at
good standing, the percentage yield should not be lower than 95%. To assess the state of the
company, the Quality and Control Department give the following data based on their one
complete batch operation:
moles of N2O5: 500 moles
actual moles of N2O4 obtained: 445 moles
What is the percentage yield of the operation? Is the company at good standing? (20 pts)
7. Explain how electrolytes can conduct electricity. (10 pts)
