Answer: Theoretical yield is calculated based on the stoichiometry of the chemical equation. The actual yield is experimentally determined. The percent yield is determined by calculating the ratio of actual yield/theoretical yield.
Explanation:
Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Entropy is defined as the degree of randomness. This means that more is the number of collisions taking place between atoms of a substance more will be the randomness.
Therefore, more will be the entropy of substance. We cannot measure the entropy but we can measure the change in entropy of a substance.
A thermometer is a glass tube that contains a liquid column generally mercury, and it is usually used to measure the temperature of human body.
A calorimeter is a device or apparatus that is used in a chemical reaction to measure the amount of heat involved.
Therefore, we can conclude that the student can't measure entropy directly, only an entropy change.
1) divide each percentage by the relative atomic mass of the element
2) divide all results by the smallest number
3)multiply by a whole number to get the simplest whole number ratio (if necessary)
that is to say:
Na S O
32.37÷23 22.58÷32 45.05÷16
= 1.407 = 0.7056 = 2.816 (to 4 significant figures)
the smallest number here is 0.7056 so:
1.407÷0.7056 0.7056÷0.7056 2.816÷0.7056
=1.99 approx.2 = 1 3.99 approx. 4
here there is no need to carry out step 3 as ratio obtained is already a simplest whole number ratio
so empirical formula is: Na₂SO₄
