In chemical reactions, the actual yield is not the same as the expected yield . Actual yield is lower than the theoretical yield . Then we have to find the yield percentage. To see what percentage of the theoretical yield is the actual yield.
Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%
Percent yield = 24.6/55.9 x100%
Percent yield = 44%
In a flame photometric analysis, salt solution is first vaporized using the heat of flame, followed by this electrons from valance shell gets excited from ground state to excited state. Followed by this de-excitation of electron bring backs electrons to ground state. This process is accompanied by emission of photon. The photon emitted is characteristic of an element, and number of photons emitted can be used for quantitative analysis.
<span>Following are the investigative question that you can answer by doing this experiment.
</span>1) What information can be obtained from the colour of flame?
2) <span>State the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy?
</span><span>3) Can you identify the metal present in unknown sample provided?
4) How will you identify amount of metal present in sample solution?
5) </span><span>Why do different chemicals emit light of different colour?</span><span>
