Percentage Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100  

The Actual Yield is given in the question as 21.2 g of NaCl.  However, in order to find the theoretical yield, you have to write a balanced equation and use the mole ratio to calculate the mass of NaCl that would be produced.

Balanced Equation:   CuCl + NaNO₃    →    NaCl + CuNO₃

Moles of CuCl = Mass of CuCl ÷ Molar Mass of CuCl
                         =  31.0 g ÷ (63.5 + 35.5)g/mol
                         = 0.31 mol

the mole ratio of CuCl to NaCl is 1  :  1,
∴ if moles of CuCl = 0.31  mol,

then moles of NaCl = 0.31 mol

Now, Mass of NaCl = Moles of NaCl × Molar Mass of NaCl
                                 =  0.31 mol × (23 + 35.5) g/mol
                                 =  18.32 g

⇒ the THEORETICAL Yield of NaCl, in this case, is 18.32 g.

Now, since Percentage Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100  

⇒ Percentage Yield of NaCl = (21.2g ÷ 18.32g) × 100  
                                                = 115.7 %


NOTE: Typically, the percentage yield of a reaction is less than 100%, however in a case where the mass of the substance is weighed with impurities, then that mass may be in excess of 100% as seen here.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

4.3 miles

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Distance of 22,704 feet

We are required to determine the number of miles in 22,704 feet

  • To convert one unit to another we use conversion factors
  • Therefore, we need to know the suitable conversion factor.
  • That is, 1 mile/5,280 feet
  • Thus, to determine the number of miles we multiply the number of feet with the conversion factor.

That is;

= 22,704 feet × 1 mile/5,280 feet

= 4.3 miles

Therefore, there are 4.3 miles in 22,704 feet

Calculate the molar mass of the acid.
JulijaS [17]
Citric acid has the molecular formula C6H8O7 so you can add the molar masses of the elements from the periodic table. C has a molar mass of 12.01 g/mol, H has 1.01 g/mol and O has 15.999 g/mol. Now you calculate the total molar mass= (6*12.01 + 8*1.01 + 7*15.999). This yields a molar weight of 192.124 g/mol (anhydrous)

Which of the following solutions would have the lowest freezing point? 1.0 nacl 3.0 nacl 2.0 nacl or 5.0 nacl
Scilla [17]
The solution that will have the lowest freezing point is 5.0 SODIUM CHLORIDE. 
Adding solute to solvents usually result in the depression of the freezing point. The higher the quantity of the solute that is added, the lower the freezing point of the solution.

For hydrocyanic acid, HCN, Ka = 4.9 × 10-10. Calculate the pH of 0.20 M NaCN. What is the concentration of HCN in the solution?
gogolik [260]
By using the ICE table :

initial    0.2 M            0           0
change -X                 + X           +X
Equ     (0.2 -X)            X               X

when Ka = (X) (X) / (0.2-X)
so by substitution:

4.9x10^-10 = X^2 / (0.2-X) by solving this equation for X 
∴X ≈ 10^-6
∴[HCN] = 10^-6

and PH = -㏒[H+]
             = -㏒ 10^-6
             = 6
