Oil is referred to as a fossil fuel because it is derived from fossils.
Fossil fuels are the result of dinosaur remains being put under pressure for millions of years.
Electric energy converted to light energy
86 percent is the percent yield for this experiment if he expected to produce 5g of product.
Explanation:
Given that:
mass of test tube = 5 grams
mass of test tube + reactant is 12.5 grams
mass of reactant = ( mass of test tube + reactant ) - (mass of test tube)
mass of reactant = 12.5 -5
= 7.5 grams
when 7.5 grams of reactant is heated mass of test tube was found to be 9.3 grams.
so mass of product formed = 9.3 - 5
= 4. 3 grams of product is formed (actual yield)
However, he expected the product to be 5 grams (theoretical yield)
Percent yield =
x 100
putting the values in the formula:
percent yield =
x 100
= 86 %
86 percent is the percent yield.
