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.
Answer:
Rank in increasing order of effective nuclear charge:
Explanation:
This explains the meaning of effective nuclear charge, Zeff, how to determine it, and the calculations for a valence electron of each of the five given elements: F, Li, Be, B, and N.
<u>1) Effective nuclear charge definitions</u>
- While the total positive charge of the atom nucleus (Z) is equal to the number of protons, the electrons farther away from the nucleus experience an effective nuclear charge (Zeff) less than the total nuclear charge, due to the fact that electrons in between the nucleus and the outer electrons partially cancel the atraction from the nucleus.
- Such effect on on a valence electron is estimated as the atomic number less the number of electrons closer to the nucleus than the electron whose effective nuclear charge is being determined: Zeff = Z - S.
<u><em>2) Z eff for a F valence electron:</em></u>
- F's atomic number: Z = 9
- Total number of electrons: 9 (same numer of protons)
- Period: 17 (search in the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
- Number of valence electrons: 7 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
- Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 9 - 7 = 2
- Zeff = Z - S = 9 - 2 = 7
<u><em>3) Z eff for a Li valence eletron:</em></u>
- Li's atomic number: Z = 3
- Total number of electrons: 3 (same number of protons)
- Period: 1 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
- Number of valence electrons: 1 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
- Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 3 - 1 = 2
- Z eff = Z - S = 3 - 2 = 1.
<em>4) Z eff for a Be valence eletron:</em>
- Be's atomic number: Z = 4
- Total number of electrons: 4 (same number of protons)
- Period: 2 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
- Number of valence electrons: 2 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
- Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 4 - 2 = 2
- Z eff = Z - S = 4 - 2 = 2
<u><em>5) Z eff for a B valence eletron:</em></u>
- B's atomic number: Z = 5
- Total number of electrons: 5 (same number of protons)
- Period: 13 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
- Number of valence electrons: 3 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
- Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 5 - 3 = 2
- Z eff = Z - S = 5 - 2 = 3
<u><em>6) Z eff for a N valence eletron:</em></u>
- N's atomic number: Z = 7
- Total number of electrons: 7 (same number of protons)
- Period: 15 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
- Number of valence electrons: 5 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
- Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 7 - 5 = 2
- Z eff = Z - S = 7 - 2 = 5
<u><em>7) Summary (order):</em></u>
