A % yield < 100 can be explained by losses and side reactions. how could you accountn for a % yield > 100

1 answer:

3 0

Percent yield is expected to be less than 100% because it is:

Percent yield = [actual yield / theoretical yield] × 100

The theoretical yield is calcualted from the stoichiometry of the chemical equation, then the actual yield cannot be greater than the theoretical yield.

A theoretical yield greater than 100% is indication of an error.

Two errors can be thought:

- A wrong measurement of the amounts of reactants or products

- The presence of impurities in the reactants that lead to the actual mass is greater than the mass if the reactant is pure.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you would add 15+15 and 12+12 because it is rectangular meaning there are 4 sides 2 for the y angle and 2 for the x angle

if f(x) = ax^6 + bx^4 + cx^3 where a,b, and c are integers, how many distinct rational zeros could f(x) have

natita [175]

You can rewrite your function as

$f(x) = x^3(ax^3+bx+c)$

This implies that

$f(x)=0 \iff x^3=0\quad\lor\quad ax^3+bx+c=0$

Now, we have $x^3=0\iff x=0$ , so it counts as a solution.

On the other hand, depending on the coefficient a, b and c, the cubic equation

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

can have either one or three solutions.

So, we have the solution x=0, and then one or three solutions coming from the cubic part. The equation as a whole thus have either two or four solutions, depending on the coefficients.
