the actual yield is the amount of Na₂CO₃ formed after carrying out the experiment
theoretical yield is the amount of Na₂CO₃ that is expected to be formed from the calculations
we need to first find the theoretical yield
2Na₂O₂ + 2CO₂ ---> 2Na₂CO₃ + O₂
molar ratio of Na₂O₂ to Na₂CO₃ is 2:2
number of Na₂O₂ moles reacted is equal to the number of Na₂CO₃ moles formed
number of Na₂O₂ moles reacted is - 7.80 g / 78 g/mol = 0.10 mol
therefore number of Na₂CO₃ moles formed is - 0.10 mol
mass of Na₂CO₃ expected to be formed is - 0.10 mol x 106 g/mol = 10.6 g
therefore theoretical yield is 10.6 g
percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%
81.0 % = actual yield / 10.6 g x 100 %
actual yield = 10.6 x 0.81
actual yield = 8.59 g
therefore actual yield is 8.59 g
This is a build up of lava which came out of the volcano in previous eruptions, once this lava came out of the volcano it cooled and hardened, over many eruptions layers of hardened volcanic rock will form. The layers are slanted as gravity acts on the lava so it flows down and a little further from the cone.
Mass of chlorine = (given)
Molar mass of chlorine =
Now, number of moles is defined as the ratio of given mass in gram to the molar mass of the compound.
Number of moles =
Number of moles of chlorine =
=
Now, according to significant figure rules, the least number of significant figure in the question identifies the number of significant figures in the solution.
Thus, in question, both digit have four significant figures, therefore, the answer must be in four significant figures.
Hence, number of moles of chlorine =
Alkali metals will always contain one valence electron but the electron configuration will depend on the element
