I don't exactly know but probably so.
The percentage of yield was 777.78%
<u>Explanation:</u>
We have the equation,
Be
[s] + 2
HCl
[aq] → BeCl
2(aq] +
H
2(g] ↑ Be
(s] +
2
HCl
[aq] → BeCl
2(aq] +
H
2(g]
↑
To find the percent yield we have the formula
Percentage of Yield= what you actually get/ what you should theoretically get x 100
=3.5 g/0.45 g 100
= 777.78 %
The percentage of yield was 777.78%
It is called exothermic reaction because it releases heat and light and it is called combustion reaction because it is reacting and is being oxidised by O2 to MgO.
It can also be called as oxidation reaction since Mg is oxidised to MgO.
