The percent yield : 79.9%
<h3>Further eplanation </h3>Percent yield is the comparison 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
Fe(s)+S(s)⇒FeS(s)
The reaction produces 6.29 g of iron(II) sulfide⇒an actual yield
The maximum amount that can be produced is 7.87 g ⇒ A theoretical yield
Answer:
Methane is a covalent bond. Methane is a chemical compound from the bonding one carbon atom and for hydrogen atoms. Although electronegativity increases as you go right of the periodic table, hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20. Chlorine has an electronegativity of 2.55. There difference in electron negativity (0.34). Therefore it is a non polar compound. If there difference was much greater, than they would form a ionic bond. Alkali metals tend to form the most ionic bond, but although hyrdogen is placed with them, it has a higher electronegativity so hydrogen is an exception.
Carbon has 4 valence electrons so it will want to gain 4 more electrons to become stable (Octet rule). Hydrogen has 1 valence electron, so it will want to lose it to become stable. Therefore, one carbon atom takes 1 electrons from 4 hydrogen atoms.
