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.

Which matter particle has 34 protons and 36 electrons in the following configuration : 1s^ 2 2s^ 2 2p^ 6 3s^ 2 3p^ 6 4s^ 2 4p^ 5
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Selenium ion.

Explanation:

The atomic number of selenium is 34 which means it have 34 protons and 34 electrons. In given statement 36 electrons are mentioned which means two extra electrons are gained by the selenium.

When an atom gain the electrons it form the negative ion.

Selenium by gaining the 2 extra electrons form Se²⁻.

Electronic configuration of Se:

Se₃₄ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁴

Se²⁻=  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶

4p⁴ have four electrons, to attain the stable electronic configuration selenium gain to more electrons and complete the octet.

H2+O=???????????????????
Luden [163]

Answer:

H₂O

Explanation:

Two molecules of Hydrogen and one molecules of Oxygen, when mixed, create H₂O, or water. There is no scientific name for H₂O due to it's common name. It is just refereed to as "water" or H₂O.

Draw the Lewis Structure for H2O.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Structure has been shown below

Explanation:

  • In a Lewis structure, least electronegative atom is taken as central atom (except H)
  • Total valence electrons of constituting atoms are used to construct Lewis structure
  • A bond between two atoms are represented by a horizontal line or a dotted line (two dots).
  • Spatial rearrangement of atoms are neglected in Lewis structure.
  • H has one valence electron and O has six valence electrons. So, total valence electrons in H_{2}O are 8
  • Lewis structure of H_{2}O has been given below.
