Answer:

Presence of impurities in the product.

Explanation:

Laboratory experience has shown that the percent yield obtained from a reaction may be greater than 100% if the product obtained from the reaction contains impurities that causes its mass to be greater than it actually would be if the product was pure.

A typical impurity that may be present in a product is the solvent used. This can be removed by evaporation of the solvent or by washing the product thoroughly.

Reaction of solid products with gases may also increase the percentage yield above 100%.

Which of the following will be most soluble in octane?
natima [27]

Answer:

CH3CH3CH2CH3

Explanation:

Octane is a non-polar compound. It is a hydrocarbon with 8-carbon length along its chain.

It belongs to a special group of hydrocarbons called alkanes.

What makes a substance soluble in another?

   It is a common phrase that  "like dissolves like". This is applicable to solubility of substances in another.

  • A polar solvent will freely and easily dissolve a polar solute. For example, water and salt.
  • A non-polar solvent will also dissolve a non-polar solute. This case, hydrocarbons will dissolve themselves.
  • The first option is a butane, a 4-carbon length hydrocarbon which will be dissolved in octane.
  • Both compounds are non-polar.

A combustion analysis of 5.214 g of a compound yields 5.34 g co 2 ​ , 1.09 g h 2 ​ o, and 1.70 g n 2 ​ . if the molar mass of th
nekit [7.7K]
Answer is: C₃H₃N₃O₃.
Chemical reaction: CₓHₓNₓOₓ + O₂ → aCO₂ + x/2H₂ + x/2N₂.
m(CₐHₓNₓ) = 5,214 g.
m(CO₂) = 5,34 g.
m(H₂) = 1,09 g.
m(N₂) = 1,70 g.
n(CO₂) = n(C) =  5,34 g ÷ 44 g/mol = 0,121 mol.
n(H₂O) = 1,09 g ÷18 g/mol = 0,06 mol.
n(H) = 2 · 0,0605 mol = 0,121 mol.
n(N₂) = 1,7 g ÷ 28 g/mol = 0,0607 mol.
n(N) = 0,0607 mol · 2 = 0,121 mol.
n(C) : n(H) : n(N) = 0,121 mol : 0,121 mol : 0,121 mol /: 0,121
n(C) : n(H) : n(N) = 1 : 1 : 1.
M(CHN) = 27 g/mol.
m(O₂) = 8,13 g - 5,214 g = 2,914 g.
n(O₂) = 2,914 g ÷ 32 g/mol = 0,09 mol.
n(CₓHₓNₓOₓ) = 5,214 g ÷ 129,1 g/mol = 0,0404 mol.
n(CₓHₓNₓOₓ) : n(CO₂) = 1 : 3.
