<u>Answer:</u> The actual yield of the product is 38.57 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} ......(1)

We are given:

Given mass of Na = 17.25 g

Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of Na}=\frac{17.25g}{23g/mol}=0.75mol

For the given chemical reaction:

2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of Na produces 2 moles of NaCl

So, 0.75 moles of Na will produce = \frac{2}{2}\times 0.75=0.75mol of NaCl

We know, molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass of NaCl}=(0.75mol\times 58.44g/mol)=43.83g

The percent yield of a reaction is calculated by using an equation:

\% \text{yield}=\frac{\text{Actual value}}{\text{Theoretical value}}\times 100 ......(1)

Given values:

Percent yield of the product = 88 %

Theoretical value of the product = 43.83 g

Plugging values in equation 1:

88\% =\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{43.83g}\times 100\\\\\text{Actual yield}=\frac{88\times 43.83}{100}=38.57g

Hence, the actual yield of the product is 38.57 g

Describe what happens in the cell before the chemical reaction.
Zina [86]

___________________________________________________________

Answer:

Chemical reactions that take place inside living things are called biochemical reactions. The sum of all the biochemical reactions in an organism is referred to as metabolism. Metabolism includes both exothermic (heat-releasing) chemical reactions and endothermic (heat-absorbing) chemical reactions.
