What would cause the percent yield of a reaction to be less than 100%?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Roman55 [17]3 years ago
3 0

<u>Answer:</u>

All of the limiting reagent gets used up causes the percent yield of a reaction to be less than 100%

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is rare for a chemical reaction to occur with the right proportion of reactants that reacts together to form resultant products.During this process, one of the reactants gets used up faster resulting in the lower percent yield. Such product that gets used up faster is called limiting reagent. This limiting reagent is responsible for lowering the percentage yield in the chemical reaction.

The limiting reactant can be found easily by calculating the yield of each reactant assuming they are consumed completely. The reactant which has least yield is the limiting reactant of the reaction.

Zinc has a specific heat capacity of 0.390 J/goC. What is its molar heat capacity? Enter your answer numerically to three signif
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The answer to your questions is  Cm = 25.5 J/mol°C  

Explanation:

Data

Heat capacity = 0.390 J/g°C

Molar heat capacity = ?

Process

1.- Look for the atomic number of Zinc

     Z = 65.4 g/mol

2.- Convert heat capacity to molar heat capacity

       (0.390 J/g°C)(65.4 g/mol)

- Simplify and result

   Cm = 25.5 J/mol°C

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

They will create an ionic bond.

Explanation:

The atom with the one valence electron will lose its one, because it's a metal and metals will lose electrons to become stable. The nonmetal (with 7 valence electrons) will gain that electron, therefore creating a stable octet for the nonmetal, making the compound stable.

Chemical energy is stored in our food. What form of energy did this chemical energy start out as?
evablogger [386]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Plants used to prepare food in the presence of sunlight. Therefore, plants uses solar energy to make food.

Due to solar energy various chemical reactions take place in the food.

Thus, we can conclude that chemical energy is stored in our food and this chemical energy start out as light energy from the sun.
