The percent yield is 71.3 %.
Explanation:
Percent yield is the measure to analyze the success percentage of any experiment .The percent yield of any experiment can be obtained by the ratio of actual or experimental value to expected or theoretical value multiplied with 100.
![Percent Yield = \frac{Experimental Outcome}{Theoretical Outcome} *100](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Percent%20Yield%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7BExperimental%20Outcome%7D%7BTheoretical%20Outcome%7D%20%2A100)
So, in the present problem, we have obtained 10.7 g of adamantium nitrate from Wolverine's 10 pound claws. So the actual value or the experimental value is the amount of adamantium nitrate obtained from Wolverine's claws.
Thus, the experimental outcome is 10.7 g. While we had expected to recover 15 g of adamantium nitrate. So the theoretical outcome is 15 g.
![Percent yield = \frac{10.7}{15} * 100 = 71.3 %](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Percent%20yield%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B10.7%7D%7B15%7D%20%2A%20100%20%3D%2071.3%20%25)
Thus, the percent yield is 71.3 %.
Answer:
Mass = 0.158 g
Explanation:
Formula used,
P V = n R T
Or,
n = P V / R T
Putting values,
n = 0.948 atm . 0.025 L / 0.0821 L.atm.K⁻¹.mol⁻¹ . 291.45
n = 0.00099 mol
Note: we have changed pressure from mmHg to atm, volume from mL to L and temperature from C to K)
Also,
Mass = n . Molecular Mass
Mass = 0.00099 mol × 159.808 g/mol
Mass = 0.158 g
