Which of the following is not a reason why actual yield is less than theoretical yield?

1 answer:

5 0

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.

Which element has this electron configuration? <br> astatine<br> bromine<br> chlorine<br> fluorine

Unfortunately you did not specify the electronic configuration in the question, however since one of the answers must be a halogen, i took the liberty to attach an image with the configuration (both the simple numeric and spdf form) for all the halogen and all you have to do is match the electronic configuration you have in your question to the one in the table attached and you can then deduce the answer.

Hope this helps.
