Your answer is B, conservation of mass


Recall that percent yield is given by: %Yeild = actual yeild/theoretical yeild x100

During experiments, there are errors made:

• uncertainty in measurements

• losses of reactants and products

• impurity in reactants

• losses during separation (e.g. filtration or purification)

• Some side reactions might also happen.



Among the given options, only conservation of mass does not contribute to a lower actual yield compared to the theoretical yield.

The molarity of a 4.200 L solution is 1.230 M Na2CO3. What is the mass of Na2CO3
Lerok [7]

Answer:

547.5g

Explanation:

To get the mass, you need moles.

moles = (molarity)(Liters)

moles = (1.230M)(4.200L) = 5.166 moles Na2CO3

Now, just use stoichiometry

molar mass of Na2CO3 = 2(mass of Na) + (mass of C) + 3(mass of O)

= 2(22.9) + 12.01 + 3(16) = 105.99g/mol

5.166moles(105.99g/mol)

= 547.544

But, the measurements given had 4 significant figures, so in chemistry we write:

547.5g

How much Sr(OH)2 • 8 H2O (M = 265.76) is needed to prepare 250.0 ML of solution in which [OH]= 0.100M?
SVEN [57.7K]
Use the formula 
first step: 
Use the formula 
molarity= mole/liter
change ml to l
plug in data
 to get .1=mole/.25 or .1M*.25liter
which =.025 moles
then divide .025 moles by two because there are two OH in Sr(OH)2 
then multiply that by 265.76 (the molar mass of water) 
.0125*265.76
which is 3.32grams this is your answer

What are the products in a chemical reaction?
zlopas [31]
Products are the species formed from chemical reactions. During a chemical reaction reactants are transformed into products after passing through a high energy transition state. This process results in the consumption of the reactants.
