Percent Yield Lab Report

Vlada [557]

Based on the data obtained from the reaction, the following conclusions can be made;

according to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the product was higher than the reactant because of the mass of oxygen added during the combustion.
the percent yield is less than 100% because of loss in mass of either reactants or products.
the errors could have occurred during the weighing and transfer of reactants and products
repeated measurements are required in order to improve accuracy

<h3>What is the percent yield of the reaction?</h3>

Equation of the reaction is given below:

2 Mg + O₂ ----> 2 MgO

Trial 1

Mass of empty crucible with lid = 26.698 (g)

Mass of Mg metal, crucible, and lid = 27.040 (g)

Mass of MgO, crucible, and lid = 27.198 (g)

Mass of metal = 27.040 - 26.698 = 0.342

Mass of MgO = 27.198 - 26.698 = 0.500

<h3>Moles of Mg used</h3>

moles of Mg = mass/molar mass

molar mass of Mg = 24 g

moles of Mg = 0.342/24 = 0.01425

<h3>Moles of MgO expected</h3>

Based on the equation of reaction;

moles of MgO expected = 0.01425

moles of MgO produced = mass/molar mass

molar mass of MgO = 40 g/mol

moles of MgO produced = 0.500/40 = 0.0125

<h3>Percent yield</h3>

Percent yield = (moles of MgO produced/moles of MgO expected) * 100%

Percentage yield = 0.0125/0.01425 * 100%

Percent yield of MgO = 87.7%

Trial 2

Mass of empty crucible with lid = 26.691 (g)

Mass of Mg metal, crucible, and lid = 27.099 (g)

Mass of MgO, crucible, and lid = 27.361 (g)

Mass of metal = 27.099 - 26.691 = 0.408

Mass of MgO = 27.361 - 26.691 = 0.670

<h3>Moles of Mg used</h3>

moles of Mg = mass/molar mass

molar mass of Mg = 24 g

moles of Mg = 0.408/24 = 0.0170

<h3>Moles of MgO expected</h3>

Based on the equation of reaction;

moles of MgO expected = 0.0170

moles of MgO produced = mass/molar mass

molar mass of MgO = 40 g/mol

moles of MgO produced = 0.670/40 = 0.01675

<h3>Percent yield</h3>

Percent yield = (moles of MgO produced/moles of MgO expected) * 100%

Percent yield = 0.01675/0.0170 * 100%

Percent yield of MgO = 98.5%

Average percent yield = (87.7 + 98.5)% / 2

Average percent yield = 89.0%

Based on the data obtained from the reaction, the following conclusion can be made;

according to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the product was higher than the reactant because of the mass of oxygen added during the combustion.
the percent yield is less than 100% because of loss in mass of either reactants or products.
the errors could have occurred during the weighing and transfer of reactants and products
repeated measurements are required in order to improve accuracy

Withe light becomes a spectrum of seven colored lights after passing through a prism

Fiesta28 [93]

True. The 7 colors, also called a rainbow, are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This rainbow is formed because the prism bends the white light and spreads it out into the colors it was made of. If there is more you were looking for, comment here.

The surface of the paper is phosphorescent. When light shines on it, some of the energy is absorbed and re-emitted slowly over t

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Recall that the hierarchy of wavelength color from minimum wavelength to maximum wavelength is:

$V < I < B < G < Y < O < R;$ and

$E \ \alpha \ \dfrac{1}{\lambda}$

As a result, blue light has a higher energy level than green and red light.

As a result, the surface glows due to the blue LED. The green LED, on the other hand, would not allow the surface to glow as much as the red LED, which has a lower energy level when compared to the green light. As a result, the red LED would not allow the surface to glow as well.

The 200-mm test tube also contained some water (besides the metal) that was subsequently added to the calorimeter (in Part A.4.)

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The temperature change in the calorimeter will be lower

Explanation:

Water is an example of a molecular substance. They have relatively low melting points and boiling points usually below 300° C . Water reacts with metals to a degree varying with their position in the electrochemical series.

The specific heat of water is 4179.6 Joules which is relatively high . This typically implies that water absorbs a larger amount of heat but the increase in temperature of its boiling points is relatively low. Thus; in the 200-mm test tube that contains water and was subsequently added to the calorimeter , the heat present was initially absorbed by the water and that does not result to an increase in the temperature change in the calorimeter. Thus the temperature change in the calorimeter will be lower.
