An organic synthesis to make the pain reliever acetaminophen is supposed to produce 280 kg of product but instead produces 70 kg of waste in addition to the acetaminophen. What is the percent yield? Group of answer choices
1 answer:
Answer: 75%
Explanation:
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Waste = 70kg
Theoretical yield = 280kg
Therefore, the actual yield will be the difference between the theoretical yield and the waste which will be:
= 280kg - 70kg = 210kg
The percent yield will now be:
= Actual yield / Theoretical yield × 100
= 210/280 × 100
= 3/4 × 100
= 75%

Umm it’s either A, B, C, or D.
1) MgBr2
2) AICI3 + H20
3) CuSO4 + SO2 + 2H2O
4) BaSO4 + HCI
0.06 has one significant figure (unless there are zeros written after it). So I would round the result to 6000. Some teachers prefer at least 2 significant figures though.
