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:
Combining the two clear colorless liquids is a chemical change.
Explanation:
Because a different solid substance is formed. Tell students that a precipitate is an insoluble solid that forms when two solutions are combined and react chemically. Insoluble means that the solid will not dissolve.
Answer:
According to Le-chatelier principle, equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of and keep same equilibrium constant
Explanation:
In this buffer following equilibrium exists -
So, is involved in the above equilibrium.
When a strong base is added to this buffer, then concentration of increases. Hence, according to Le-chatelier principle, above equilibrium will shift towards left to minimize concentration of and keep same equilibrium constant.
Therefore excess amount of combines with to produce ammonia and water. So, effect of addition of strong base on pH of buffer gets minimized.
Solution :
From the balanced chemical equation, we can say that 1 moles of KBr will produce 1 moles of KCl .
Moles of KBr in 102 g of potassium bromide.
n = 102/119.002
n = 0.86 mole.
So, number of miles of KCl produced are also 0.86 mole.
Mass of KCl produced :
Hence, this is the required solution.
