Water clarity is a measure of how far down light can penetrate through the water. The clearer the water is the farther light can go down. This is important because with water clarity we can find out how much living things that part of the water can support. Clearer water allows light to reach farther down, which can allow aquatic plants to grow deeper in the water.

Serggg [28]

Explanation:

From your information above, assume 1 month is 28 days

1 days=24hours ; 28 days=672 hours (just multiply 1 days with 28)

1 hour=60minutes ; 672 hours=40,320 minutes

.. 1 month=40,320 minutes

Give one chemical property of soda ash.

Elenna [48]

<span>Soda ash is sodium carbonate, Na2CO3. One chemical property of this compound is its basicity, which is measured by the pKb. The pKb for sodium carbonate is 3.67. It is the result of the dissociation of Na2CO3 in water: Na2CO3 + H2O = Na HCO3 + Na (+) + OH(-). This pKb means that it is a highly basic compound. pKb = log { 1 / [OH-] }, so pKb is a measure of the concentrations of OH- ions, which is the basiciity of the compound. </span>

What is the percent yield of LiCl if I produced 30.85g LiCl and my theoretical yield was calculated to be 35.40g LiCl?

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

87.15%

Explanation:

To find percent yield, we can use this simple equation

$\frac{Actual}{Theoretical} *100$

Where "Actual" is the amount in grams actually collected from the reaction, and "Theoretical" is, well, the theoretical amount that should have been produced.

They give us these values, so to find the percent yield, just plug the numbers in.

$\frac{30.85}{35.40} *100\\\\ =87.15$

So, the percent yield is 87.15%

An easy trick to remember how to do this is just to divide the smaller number by the bigger number and move the decimal back two places. If you have a percent yield greater than 100%, something is wrong in the reaction.
