Determine the molar mass of NH3 and NO
Atomic weight nitrogen = 14.0067
Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794
Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999
Molar mass NH3 = 14.0067 + 3 * 1.00794 = 17.03052 g/mol
Molar mass NO = 14.0067 + 15.999 = 30.0057 g/mol
Moles NH3 = 8.5 / 17.03052 = 0.499103962 mol
Moles NO = 4.5 / 30.0057 = 0.149971505 mol
Looking at the balanced equation, for every mole of NH3 consumed, you should get one mole of NO. So if we had 100% yield, we should have 0.499103962 moles of NO. But we don't. The percent yield is a simple matter of division by what we did get by what we should get. So
0.149971505 / 0.499103962 = 0.300481497 = 30.0481497%
Rounding to 2 significant figures gives 30.% yield.</span>
Conjugate base contains one less proton as compared to it's parent acid. Deprotonation occurs from most acidic region.
Propionic acid deprotonates to produce it's strong conjugate base propionate.
In propionic acid, -OH group in -COOH functional moiety dissociates to produce . Because the O-H bond electrons remains highly polarized towards oxygen atom due to electron withdrawing inductive effect as well as resonating effect of -COOH moiety.
