Help with chemistry

Silicon nitride, a very hard, high-temperature resistant ceramic used as the material for turbine blades in jet engines is prepared by reacting silicon with nitrogen gas. The balanced chemical reaction is given below:

3 Si(s) + 2 N2 (g)  ➜  Si3N4 (s) 

A. What mass of nitrogen gas (molar mass: 28.014 g/mol) reacts with 10.00 g of silicon (molar mass: 28.085 g/mol)?


a.

6.667 g N2

b.

14.96 g N2

c.

15.00 g N2

d.

6.650 g N2

B. How much Si3N4 (molar mass: 140.28 g/mol) is produced by reacting 10.00 g of silicon in excess nitrogen gas?


a.

14.98 g Si3N4

b.

16.65 g Si3N4

c.

30.00 g Si3N4

d.

3.333 g Si3N4

C. If the actual amount of Si3N4 produced from 10.00 g of silicon is 11.31 g, what is the percent yield of the reaction?


a.

37.70%

b.

342.7%

c.

75.50%

d.

67.93%
