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.

The highly reactive elements in group 7a are known for forming salts.what are they called
yaroslaw [1]
Group 7A are halogens 

If you look at a periodic table, these elements include F, Cl, Br, I, and At. Some well known salts are KCl and NaCl (better known as table salt!)

Hydrogen bonding is most often seen _____. see concept 2.3 (page 38) view available hint(s) hydrogen bonding is most often seen
Evgesh-ka [11]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

When hydrogen is covalently bonded to an electronegative atom

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole attraction between molecules. It results from the attractive force between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom such as a N, O, or F atom.
  • Highly electronegative atoms attract shared electrons more strongly than hydrogen does, resulting in a slight positive charge on the hydrogen atom. The slightly positive hydrogen atom is then attracted to another electronegative atom, forming a hydrogen bond.
