Answer:
Percentage yield = 85.2%
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of Mg = 21.3 g
Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g
Percentage yield = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO
Number of moles of Mg = mass/molar mass
Number of moles of Mg = 21.3 g / 24.3 g/mol
Number of moles of Mg = 0.88 mol
Now we will compare the moles of MgO with Mg.
Mg : MgO
2 : 2
0.88 : 0.88
Mass of MgO:
Mass of MgO= moles × molar mass
Mass of MgO= 0.88 mol × 40.3g/mol
Mass of MgO = 35.46 g
Actual yield of MgO = 30.2 g
Percentage yield:
Percentage yield = Actual yield/theoretical yield × 100
Percentage yield = 30.2 g/ 35.46 g × 100
Percentage yield = 85.2%
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Masses for the three subatomic particles can be expressed in amu (atomic mass units) or grams. For simplicity, we will use the amu unit for the three subatomics. Both neutrons and protons are assigned as having masses of 1 amu each.
