The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Assume that your empty crucible weighs 15.98 g, and the crucible plus the sodium bicarbonate sample weighs 18.56 g. After the first heating, your crucible and contents weighs 17.51 g. After the second heating, your crucible and contents weighs 17.50 g.

What is the theoretical yield of sodium carbonate?

What is the experimental yield of sodium carbonate?

What is the percent yield for sodium carbonate?

Which errors could cause your percent yield to be falsely high, or even over 100%?

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

We have to note that water is driven away after the second heating hence we are concerned with the weight of the pure dry product.

Hence;

From the reaction;

2 NaHCO3 → Na2CO3(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Number of moles of  sodium bicarbonate = 18.56 - 15.98 = 2.58 g/87 g/mol

= 0.0297 moles

2 moles of sodium bicarbonate yields 1 mole of sodium carbonate

0.0297 moles of 0.015 moles  sodium bicarbonate yields 0.0297 * 1/2 = 0.015 moles

Theoretical yield of sodium carbonate = 0.015 moles * 106 g/mol = 1.59 g

Experimental yield of sodium bicarbonate = 17.50 g - 15.98 g = 1.52 g

% yield = experimental yield/Theoretical yield * 100

% yield = 1.52/1.59 * 100

% yield = 96%

The percent yield may exceed 100% if the water and CO2 are not removed from the system by heating the solid product to a constant mass.

How many moles of potassium are in 78.20 g?
Fynjy0 [20]
The answer to this question would be: 2 mol

To answer this question, you need to know the molecular weight of Potassium. Molecular weight determines how much the weight of 1 mol of a molecule has. 
Potassium or Kalium molecular weight is 39.1 gram/mol. Then, 78.20gram of potassium should be: 78.20g/ (39.1g/mol)= 2 mol

How many grams of NaCl (molecular weight = 58.4 g mole-1) would you dissolve in water to make a total volume of 500 mL of soluti
kolezko [41]

Given :

Volume , V = 500 mL .

Molarity , M = 0.5 M .

Molecular mass of NaCl is 58.4\ g/mole .

To Find :

How many grams of NaCl is required .

Solution :

Let , NaCl required is x gram .

Molarity is given by :

M=\dfrac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume (in liters) }}\\\\M=\dfrac{m}{M\times V}\\\\0.5=\dfrac{x}{58.4\times 0.5}\\\\x=0.5^2\times 58.4\ g\\\\x=14.6\ g

Hence , this is the required solution.
