Answer: the percentage of acetic acid will be low.
Explanation: The major aim during titration of acids and bases is to determine the endpoint , that is exact point where the acid in the beaker changes colour, (in this case, pink )with an additional drop from the burette containing the base, since it is usually difficult to mark the equivalence point that tells us when all the substrate in the beaker has been neutralized completely with the buretted substance.
Overshooting the end point is an error which can occur when the person involved in the the titration accidently goes beyond this endpoint by adding too much of the substance(base) from the burette into the beaker missing the exact endpoint.
This implies that the person has added too much of the burreted liquid, ie the base than required , making the acid in the beaker to continue to react resulting to a lower concentration of the acid (acetic acid) with excess base.(NaOH)
<h3>1.<u> Answer;</u></h3>
False
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
Bases have some of the following properties;
- They have a bitter taste
- They have a slimy, or soapy feel on fingers
- Most bases react with acids and precipitate salts.
- Strong bases may react violently with acids.
- Bases turn red litmus paper blue
<h3>2. <u>Answer;</u></h3>
An acid
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- When acids are dissolved in water, the concentration of the acid decreases and it becomes dilute.
- It dissociates in water to give H+ ions or hydrogen ions.
- All acidic solutions contain more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions, therefore when added to water it increases the concentration of H+ ions in water, as water is a neutral substance whose concentration of H+ ions is equal to OH-.
Answer:
87.15%
Explanation:
To find percent yield, we can use this simple equation
Where "Actual" is the amount in grams actually collected from the reaction, and "Theoretical" is, well, the theoretical amount that should have been produced.
They give us these values, so to find the percent yield, just plug the numbers in.
So, the percent yield is 87.15%
An easy trick to remember how to do this is just to divide the smaller number by the bigger number and move the decimal back two places. If you have a percent yield greater than 100%, something is wrong in the reaction.
