Answer:

a) the percentage yield will exceed 100%

b) the excess reactant is filtered along with the barium sulphate precipitate. It is possible to recover the excess reactant by carefully washing the precipitate with water.

Explanation:

In the precipitation of barium sulphate, the ions in the reactants exchange partners in the product leading to an insoluble product.

In every reaction, there is a limiting reactant whose amount determines the amount of product that can be obtained. The reactant in excess remains in the system even after the reaction is completed and may be recovered alongside the product which leads to a percentage yield above 100%.

If the excess reactant is soluble in water, it can be recovered from the precipitate if needed by washing the precipitate with water.

Answer:

The deviations are :

The activation energy which changes with temperature
The arrhenius constant which depends on the temperature

Explanation:

There are deviations from the Arrhenius law during the glass transition in all classes of glass-forming matter.

The Arrhenius law predicts that the motion of the structural units (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) should slow down at a slower rate through the glass transition than is experimentally observed.
In other words, the structural units slow down at a faster rate than is predicted by the Arrhenius law.
This observation is made reasonable assuming that the units must overcome an energy barrier by means of a thermal activation energy.
The thermal energy must be high enough to allow for translational motion of the units which leads to viscous flow of the material.

Both the Arrhenius activation energy and the rate constant k are experimentally determined, and represent macroscopic reaction-specific parameters that are not simply related to threshold energies and the success of individual collisions at the molecular level.
Consider a particular collision (an elementary reaction) between molecules A and B. The collision angle, the relative translational energy, the internal (particularly vibrational) energy will all determine the chance that the collision will produce a product molecule AB.
Macroscopic measurements of E(activation energy) and k(rate constant ) are the result of many individual collisions with differing collision parameters. They are averaged out to a macroscopic quantity.

Svetach [21]

Using Daltons Law which states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the gasses partial pressure.Thus,

Pt(total pressure)= P1+P2+P3
where
Pt= 0.90 atm
P1= 0.26 atm
P2 = 0.28 atm
P3 = ?
substitute the formula with known variables
P3= 0.90 atm-(0.26atm+0.28atm)
P3 = 0.36 atm

The partial pressure of ammonia is 0.36 atm
