What are possible reasons for a percent yield that is under 100%

Chemistry
1 answer:
matrenka [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

              Percentage Yield is given as,

                 %age Yield  =  Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

This shows that the %age yield is directly depending upon the actual yield. And most of the time the percentage yield is less than 100 % because of the following factors.

Impure Starting Materials:

                                           If the starting materials (reactants) are not pure then reaction will not completely form the desired product. Different by products will form which will decrease the %age yield.

Incomplete Reactions:

                                     Not all reactions go to completion. In many reactions the starting material after some time stops forming the product due to different conditions. Some reactions attain equilibrium and stop increasing the amount of product. While, in some reactions a by products (like water) formed often react with the product to give a reverse reactions. Hence, the chemistry of reactions also causes the decrease in %age yield.

Handling:

               Another major reason for decrease in yield is handling the product. Always some of the product is lost during the workup of the reaction like, taking TLC, doing solvent extraction, doing column chromatography, taking characterization spectrums. So, we can conclude that the %age yield will always be less than 100%.

If 450.0 mL of a 0.500 M solution is mixed with 200.0 mL of water, what is the molarity of the new
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Answer: A) .346 M

Explanation:

Given:

- 450 mL

- .5 M soln

-200 mL water

1) Convert mL to L

450 mL = .45 L

200 mL = .2 L

2) Find mols in solution

.5 M = x/.45 L

x = .225 mol

3) Find total volume of solution

.45 L + .2 L =.65 L

4) Find new molarity

molarity (M) = mols solute/ L solution

y = .225 mol (from step 2)/ .65 L (from step 3)

y = .346 M

Answer: A) .346 M

Write a conclusion statement that addresses the following questions: • Explain what the color change indicated about the changes
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: try to understand coz the question is not valid

Explanation: Explain the relationship between forward and reverse reactions at equilibrium and predict how changing the amount of a reactant or product (creating a stress) will affect that relationship.For example (select one from each underlined section)If the amount of (reactant or product) increases, the rate of the (forward or reverse)reaction will (increase or decrease)to reach a new equilibrium. If the amount of (reactant or product) decreases, the rate of the (forward or reverse)reaction will (increase or decrease)to reach a new equilibrium. Procedure: Access the virtual lab and complete the inquiry experiment

When 20 milliliters of 1.0m hcl is diluted to a total volume of 60 milliliters, the concentration of the resulting solution is?
Ksenya-84 [330]
In preparing diluted solutions from concentrated solutions we can use the following formula
c1v1 = c2v2
c1 and v1 are the concentration and volume of the concentrated solution respectively
c2 and v2 are the concentrations and volume of the diluted solution respectively
Substituting these values ,
20 mL x 1.0 M = C x 60 mL
C = 0.33 M
The concentration of the resulting diluted solutions is 0.33 M
