Theoretical yield = 2.397

The product could be sodium carbonate

percent yield = 98.456%

When nahco3 completely decomposes, it can follow this balanced chemical equation:

2nahco3 → na2co3 h2co3

If the mass of the NaHCO3 sample is 3.80 g, we must use stoichiometry to calculate the theoretical yields of each of the products.

mass of NaHCO₃ = 3.80 g

molar mass of NaHCO₃ = 84 g/mol

so the no of moles of NaHCO₃ = 3.80/84 =  0.0452 mol

You see, one mole of sodium carbonate and one mole of hydrogen carbonate are produced from two moles of sodium bicarbonate.

so, the no of moles of sodium carbonate = 0.0452/2 = 0.0226 mol

∴ mass of sodium carbonate ( Na₂CO₃) = no of moles of Na₂CO₃ × molar mass of Na₂CO₃

=  0.0226 × 106 ≈ 2.397 g

no of moles of hydrogen carbonate = 0.0452/2 = 0.0226 mol

mass of the hydrogen carbonate ( H₂CO₃) = no of moles of H₂CO₃ × molar mass of H₂CO₃

= 0.0226 × 62 g = 1.401 g

mass of one of the products was measured to be 2.36 g , from above data, we can say it must be sodium carbonate because value is the nearest of 2.397 g.

percentage yield = experimental yield/theoretical yield × 100

here experimental yield of Na₂CO₃ = 2.36 g

and theoretical yield of Na₂CO₃ = 2.397 g

∴ % yield = 2.36/2.397 × 100 ≈ 98.456%

Therefore the percentage yield of the product is 98.456%

Answer:

0.07172 L = 7.172 mL.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT. </em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm (P = 1.0 atm, Standard P).

V is the volume of the gas in L (V = ??? L).

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol (n = 3.2 x 10⁻³ mol).

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K),

T is the temperature of the gas in K (T = 273 K, Standard T).

<em>∴ V = nRT/P =</em> (3.2 x 10⁻³ mol)(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(273 K)/(1.0 atm) = <em>0.07172 L = 7.172 mL.</em>

Which of these is not a covalent molecule?<br> 1. F2<br> 2. CO<br> 3. LiF<br> 4. NH3
beks73 [17]

LiF or lithium fluoride is the non covalent molecule or ionic compound.

Option 3.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Covalent molecules are those molecules which do have actual bonds between the atoms present in the molecule by sharing of the electrons. But in ionic molecules, there's no actual bonds between the atoms, but the oppositely charged ions are attracted towards each other by means of electrostatic force of attraction.

The molecules that are formed by the atoms with high electronegativity and electropositivity are actually ionic because the atoms with high electronegativity are able to actually gain electron readily and the atoms with high electropositivity are actually ready to give the electrons to the electronegative elements.

Lithium is highly electropositive and fluoride is highly electronegative. So they establish an ionic bond. But other molecules like fluorine molecule has both the electronegative elements, Carbon monoxide has carbon which isn't electropositive highly, and ammonia has hydrogen which isn't electropositive.

So lithium fluoride is the ionic compound.
