The balanced reaction would be written as:
<span>
C7H6O3 + C4H6O3--->C9H8O4 + HC2H3O2

To determine the percent yield, we need to first determine the theoretical yield if the reaction were to proceed completely. Then, we divide the actual yield that is given to the theoretical yield times 100 percent. The limiting reactant from the reaction would be salicylic acid. We do as follows: 

<span>Theoretical yield: 50.05 g C7H6O3 ( 1 mol / 138.21 g ) ( 1 mol C9H8O4 / 1 mol C7H6O3 ) ( 180.157 g / mol ) = 65.24 g C9H8O4 should be produced

Percent yield = 55.45 / 65.24 x 100 = 84.99%
<span>
Therefore, the percent yield for the given amount of salicylic acid is 84.99%

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Each magnet should have been tested on many different magnetizable materials

Explanation:

In designing an experiment such as that outlined above, the experimental design should have included many different magnetizable materials.

All the types of magnets; the horseshoe, the bar, and the ring magnet should have been tested using many different magnetizable materials apart from the metal object. By so doing, the strongest magnet can be effectively determined without bias because it will attract the greatest number of magnetizable materials.

Again, the shape of the magnet affects its ability to attract objects. Hence, different shapes of magnets can not effectively be compared for relative magnetic strength.

Answer:

A. Gas atoms subjected to electricity emit bright lines of light

Explanation:

When subjected to electricity, the electrons of a gas atom are <em>excited</em>. From that excited energy level, the electrons eventually go back to their initial state; this <u>transition</u> is done by emitting photons at a specific wavelength (causing an emission of bright lines of light).

Such is the mechanism of gas-discharge lamps tipically found in households.
