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:
They neutralize each other
Answer is: ph value is 3.56.
Chemical reaction 1: H₂CO₃(aq) ⇄ HCO₃⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq); Ka₁ = 4,3·10⁻⁷.
Chemical reaction 2: HCO₃⁻(aq) ⇄ CO₃²⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq); Ka₂ = 5,6·10⁻¹¹.
c(H₂CO₃) = 0,18 M.
[HCO₃⁻] = [H⁺<span>] = x.
</span>[H₂CO₃] = 0,18 M - x.
Ka₁ = [HCO₃⁻] · [H⁺] / [H₂CO₃].
4,3·10⁻⁷ = x² / (0,18 M -x).
Solve quadratic equation: x = [H⁺] =0,000293 M.
pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(0,000293 M).
pH = 3,56; second Ka do not contributes pH value a lot.
Answer:
Atoms must have similar electronegativities in order to share electrons in a covalent bond.
Explanation:
Covalent bonding is one of the bondings that occurs between the atoms of elements. It is the bonding in which atoms share their valence electrons with one another. However, the ELECTRONEGATIVITY, which is the ability of an atom to be attracted to electrons play a major role in the formation of covalent bonds.
When atoms of different electronegativities combine, the more electronegative atom pulls more electrons towards itself, hence, an IONIC bond is formed. However, when the electronegativities of the atoms are similar, the sharing of their electrons becomes stronger. Hence, ATOMS MUST HAVE SIMILAR ELECTRONEGATIVITIES in order to share electrons in a covalent bond.
