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 unit is used for measuring atomic mass?
Kryger [21]
An atomic mass unit is a unit of measurement that is used to measure the mass of atoms. The atomic mass unit (abbreviated: amu or u) is roughly equal to the mass of 1 proton<span> or 1 neutron. The unified atomic mass unit and the dalton are different names for the same thing. The dalton name is used more over time.</span>

lara [203]

Answer:

(Most accurate) pippete>graduated cylinder>beaker>balance (Least accurate)

Explanation:

  1. <em>Most accurate. A pipette prived the most accurate method for delivering a known volume of solution, for example, a 10mL transfer pipette has an accuracy of ±0.02mL</em>
  2. A graduated cylinder is specifically used to deliver a known volume, its typical accuracy is ±1%, this means that a 100ml graduated cylinder is accurate to ±1mL.
  3. A beaker is a multipurpose cylindrical glass mainly used to hold liquids. Even though they are graduated, these marks are an estimation, the beaker's accuracy is around 10%.
  4. Least accurate. A balance measures an object's mass, even though water's density is close to 1, a balance is not the ideal equipment to measure volume, its capacity usually goes between 100-200grams and can measure mass to the nearest ±0.01mg to ±1mg.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

An ionized helium atom has a mass of 6.6 × 10-27 kg and a speed of 5.3 × 105 m/s. It moves perpendicular to a 0.78-T magnetic fi
arsen [322]

Explanation:

In a magnetic field, the radius of the charged particle is as follows.

             r = \frac{mv}{qB}

where,   m = mass,      v = velocity

              q = charge,    B = magnetic field

Therefore, q will be calculated as follows.

         q = \frac{mv}{rB}

            = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-27} \times 5.3 \times 10^{5}}{0.014 m \times 0.78 T}

            = \frac{34.98 \times 10^{-22}}{0.01092}

            = 3.2 \times 10^{-19} \times \frac{1.0 e}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}C}

            = +2e

Thus, we can conclude that the charge of the ionized atom is +2e.
