Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated
General formula:
Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%
An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients
Reaction
CaO + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂
mass CaO= 4.2 g
mol CaO(MW=56,0774 g/mol) :
mol Ca(OH)₂ based on mol CaO
mol ratio CaO : Ca(OH)₂,= 1 : 1, so mol Ca(OH)₂ = 0.075
mass Ca(OH)₂(MW=74,093 g/mol) ⇒ theoretical
% yield :
The answer is 40.
We can solve this by finding out the number of protons, and neutrons. Atomic number of an element means the number of protons in that element. So, the atom has 30 protons if the atomic number is 30.
On the other hand, mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons, but not electrons, because they're too light comparing to the other 2. Therefore, we can simply solve the number of neutrons in the atom by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. 70 - 30 = 40.
Therfore, the number of neutrons is 40.
Just dived both numbers by two
Hey there!
We know that a chemical reaction is balanced when there is the same amount of each element on both sides of the equation.
According to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created or destroyed, so we must have the same amount of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
We count the amount of each element on each side, and the products should have the same number as the reactants.
Hope this helps!
