One way of obtaining pure sodium carbonate is through the decomposition of the mineral trona, Na3(CO3)(HCO3)·2H2O. 2Na3(CO3)(HCO

3)·2H2O(s) → 3Na2CO3(s) + CO2(
g. + 5H2O(
g. When 1.00 metric ton (1.00 × 103 kg) of trona is decomposed, 0.650 metric ton of Na2CO3 is recovered. What is the percent yield of this reaction?

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%

The balanced equation for the decomposition is,
 2Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) → 3Na₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + 5H₂<span>O(g)

The stoichiometric ratio between </span>Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s)  and Na₂CO₃(s) is 2 : 3

The decomposed mass of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = 1000 kg
                                                                                     = 1000 x 10³ g

Molar mass of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = 226 g mol⁻¹
moles of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = mass / molar mass
                                                         = 1000 x 10³ g / 226 g mol⁻¹
                                                         = 4424.78 mol

Hence, moles of Na₂CO₃ formed = 4424.78 mol x \frac{3}{2}
                                                     = 6637.17 mol

Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ = 106 g mol⁻¹

Hence, mass of Na₂CO₃ = 6637.17 mol x 106 g mol⁻¹
                                        = 703540.02 g
                                        = 703.540 kg

Hence, the theoretical yield of Na₂CO₃ =  703.540 kg
Actual yield of Na₂CO₃ = 650 kg

Percentage yield = (650 kg / 703.540 kg) x 100%
                            = 92.34%

Answer:

A compound contains atoms of different elements chemically combined together in a fixed ratio. An element is a pure chemical substance made of same type of atom. Compounds contain different elements in a fixed ratio arranged in a defined manner through chemical bonds. They contain only one type of molecule.

Which of the following would be considered important in including in the summary of an experimental investigation?
just olya [345]

Answer is: variables that were manipulated during the experiment.

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.

Dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

Dependent variables depend on the values of independent variables. The dependent variables represent the output or outcome whose variation is being studied.

Laboratory room number is the least important.
