Answer:
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since the buffer is not given, we assume it is based off ammonia, it means the ammonia-ammonium buffer, whereas the ammonia is the weak base and the ammonium ion stands for the conjugate acid. In such a way, when adding HI to the solution, the base of the buffer, NH3, reacts with the former to promote the following chemical reaction:
Because the HI is totally ionized in solution so the iodide ion becomes an spectator one.

Answer:
87.15%
Explanation:
To find percent yield, we can use this simple equation
Where "Actual" is the amount in grams actually collected from the reaction, and "Theoretical" is, well, the theoretical amount that should have been produced.
They give us these values, so to find the percent yield, just plug the numbers in.
So, the percent yield is 87.15%
An easy trick to remember how to do this is just to divide the smaller number by the bigger number and move the decimal back two places. If you have a percent yield greater than 100%, something is wrong in the reaction.
