Question

Given that a theoretical yield for isolating Calcium Carbonate in this experiment would be 100%. From that information and based on the results you obtained in this experiment, describe your success in the recovery of calcium carbonate and suggest two possible sources of error that would have caused you to not obtain 100% yield.

Answer 1

Answer:

It's well Explained below.

Explanation:

First of Excess product of CaCO_3 would be produced due to the fact that there would not be enough CaCl_2 to react with Na_2•CO_3. The main purpose of having stoichiometric quantities is for us to know the correct amount or near the correct amount of each reactant in order to create a product that will be close to the theoretical amount and thus have a higher percent yield.
