1.5 % is the percent yield in the reaction.
Explanation:
Given that:
original mass of the sample used in reaction = 1.897 grams
product formed after decomposition = 1.071 grams
The reaction for the decomposition:
Mg(HCO3)2 (s) ⇒ CO2 (g) + H2O (g) + MgCO2 (s)
It says that 1 mole of Mg(HCO3)2 yielded 1 mole of MgCO2 on decomposition
68.31 grams/mole or 68.31 grams of MgCO2 is formed
percent yield = x 100
putting the values in the equation:
percent yield =
= 0.015 x100
PERCENT YIELD = 1.5 %
Answer:
a) Monomers: monomers are unit molecules, that can react together with other monomers, to form a long chain molecule called a polymer. Th polymer formed can also be in a three dimensional network. The process of this conversion of monomers to polymers is called polymerization.
b) Repeating unit: A repeating unit is a unit of the polymer formed, whose repetition would produce a long complete polymer chain. A polymer is made up of these repeating links of molecules that form a long chain of molecules.
c) Condensation polymerization: This is a form of condensation reaction, that involves the combination of molecules into polymers with the loss of small molecules such as water or methanol as by products.
d) Cross-linked polymer: This is a polymer formed from a type of bonding of molecules. The bonding is usually in the form of covalent bonds or ionic bonds and the polymers can be either synthetic polymers or natural polymers. The cross-links leads to an alteration in the physical properties of the polymer.
Soilds retain their shape because their particles (be they atoms or molecules) are locked in position by bonds or intermolecular forces of neighboring particles. When you heat a solid so that it changes phase to liquid form, the thermal energy put in serves to excite the particles of matter enough so that they are still held together but can now overcome the forces holding them rigidly in place and slides around each other. Liquids are virtually incompressible because the particles are still held together, but they can also flow and change shape because they're not fixed to the same arrangement.
