Is thiamine mononitrate an ionic bond or covalent bond?
2 answers:
Answer:
It's a <u>covalent bond</u>
Explanation:
The diference of electronegativity between the two atoms bonding can help you to decide if a bond is either <u>covalent</u> or <u>ionic</u>.
As shown in the figure, the oxygen atoms of the nitrate (left) will interact with the nitrogen atom of the thiamine(right).
The oxygen have an electronegativity of 3.5 (one of the most electronegative elements) and the nitrogen a 3.0
Being the difference: 3.5 - 3.0=0.5
Now, how this helps to decide the type of bond? For covalent bonds it's expected to have a electronegativity diffetence of < 1.5. On the other hand, for ionic bonds this value should be > 1.5

The balanced chemical reaction will be as follows:
To determine the % yield, first calculate the theoretical yield.
Molairty and volume of is 0.218 M and 65 mL respectively. Convert it into number of moles as follows:
Here, volume should be in L thus,
Similarly, calculate number of moles of iodide ion,
Now, from the balanced chemical equation, 1 mole of gives 1 mol of
, thus, 0.01417 mol will give 0.01417 mol of
.
Also, 2 mole of will give 1 mole of
thus, 0.0212 mol will give,
Molar mass of is 461.01 g/mol calculating mass of

as follows:
From :
Similarly, for :
Here, is limiting reactant as it produced less amount of
as compared with
.
Theoretical yield is amount of product obtained from limiting reactant thus, theoretical yield will be 4.8867 g.
Percentage yield can be calculated as follows:
Actual yield is 3.26 g thus, percentage yield will be:
=66.7%
Therefore, % yield will be 66.7%
