Percentage Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100
The Actual Yield is given in the question as 21.2 g of NaCl. However, in order to find the theoretical yield, you have to write a balanced equation and use the mole ratio to calculate the mass of NaCl that would be produced.
Balanced Equation: CuCl + NaNO₃ → NaCl + CuNO₃
Moles of CuCl = Mass of CuCl ÷ Molar Mass of CuCl
= 31.0 g ÷ (63.5 + 35.5)g/mol
= 0.31 mol
the mole ratio of CuCl to NaCl is 1 : 1,
∴ if moles of CuCl = 0.31 mol,
then moles of NaCl = 0.31 mol
Now, Mass of NaCl = Moles of NaCl × Molar Mass of NaCl
= 0.31 mol × (23 + 35.5) g/mol
= 18.32 g
⇒ the THEORETICAL Yield of NaCl, in this case, is 18.32 g.
Now, since Percentage Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100
⇒ Percentage Yield of NaCl = (21.2g ÷ 18.32g) × 100
= 115.7 %
NOTE: Typically, the percentage yield of a reaction is less than 100%, however in a case where the mass of the substance is weighed with impurities, then that mass may be in excess of 100% as seen here.
948 or 9.48 x 10^2
There are two sets of rules for significant figures
• One set for addition and subtraction
• Another set for multiplication and division
You used the set for multiplication and division.
This problem involves addition and subtraction, and the rule is
The number of places after the decimal point in the answer must be <em>no greater than the number of decimal places in every term</em> in the sum.
Thus, we have
78.9
+890.43
-21.
= 948.33
The "21" term has the fewest digits after the decimal point (none), so the answer must have no digits after the decimal point.
To the correct answer is 948 = 9.48 x 10^2. It has three significant figures.
The theoretical yield is 204.4 g while the percent yield is 2.57%.
<h3>What is theoretical yield?</h3>
Theoretical yield is the amount of product obtained based on the stoichiometry of the reaction.
S8(s) + 8 Na2SO3(aq) + 40 H2O(l) --->8 Na2S2O3·5 H2O(s)
Number of moles of sulfur = 3.25 g /8(32) = 0.013 moles
Number of moles of sodium sulfite = 13.1 g/126 g/mol = 0.103 moles
Since 1 moles of sulfur reacts with 8 moles of sodium sulfite
0.013 moles reacts with 0.013 moles × 8 moles /1 mole = 0.104 moles
There is not enough sodium sulfite hence it is the limiting reactant.
1 mole of sodium sulfite yields 8 moles of product
0.103 moles of sodium sulfite yields 0.103 moles × 8 moles /1 mole = 0.824 moles
Mass of product = 0.824 moles × 248 g/mol = 204.4 g
percent yield = 5.26 g /204.4 g × 100/1
= 2.57%

Answer:
330 mL of (NH₄)₂SO₄ are needed
Explanation:
First of all, we determine the reaction:
(NH₄)₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → 2NH₃ + 2H₂O + Na₂SO₄
We determine the moles of base:
(First, we convert the volume from mL to L) → 62.6 mL . 1L/1000 mL = 0.0626L
Molarity . volume (L) = 2.31 mol/L . 0.0626 L = 0.144 moles
Ratio is 2:1. Therefore we make a rule of three:
2 moles of hydroxide react with 1 mol of sulfate
Then, 0.144 moles of NaOH must react with (0.144 .1) /2 = 0.072 moles
If we want to determine the volume → Moles / Molarity
0.072 mol / 0.218 mol/L = 0.330 L
We convert from L to mL → 0.330L . 1000 mL/1L = 330 mL

Explanation:
The chaparral biome is a temperate biome with a characteristic high temperature and dryness during summer and mild rainy winters and springs. The biome can be found in relatively small amounts in the major continents of the world with its rich plant and animal diversity who have successfully adapted to the conditions of the biome.
Due to the high biodiversity of the chaparral biome, <u>one would expect it to be resilient to the loss of a single species.</u> <em>The more the biodiversity of a biome or community, the more resilient such biome or community would be to the loss of species and lower the biodiversity, the more sensitive the community would be to the loss of species. </em>
