a compound is a pure substance made up of two or more elements chemically combined a molecule is defined as the smallest particle of an element which can exist separately elements are pure substances which can not be split into simple substances by chemical means the atom is defined as the smallest particle of an element which can take part in a chemical change so I think the difference between the molecule of a compound is bigger than the molecule of a compound
The theoretical yield of acetate is 2607 g. The actual yield of acetate is 1066.8 g. The percentage yield of acetate is 41%.
If 1 mole of vinegar contains 6.02 x 10^23 particles
x moles of vinegar contains 9.02 x 10^24 particles
x = 1 mole x 9.02 x 10^24 /6.02 x 10^23
x = 15 moles of vinegar
The reaction is as follows;
2HC2H3O2 + CaCO3 -----> Ca(C2H3O2)2 + H2O + CO2
Since 2 moles of vinegar reacts with 1 mole of carbonate
x moles of vinegar reacts with 16.5 moles of carbonate
x = 2 moles x 16.5 moles/ 1 mole
x = 33 moles of vinegar
We can see that the vinegar is the reactant in excess hence the carbonate is the limiting reactant.
Theoretical yield = 16.5 moles x 158 g/mol = 2607 g
Actual yield = 6.35 moles x 158 g/mol = 1066.8 g
Percent yield = 1066.8 g/2607 g × 100/1
= 41%
