Answer:
Percent yield = 57.8 %
Theoretical yield = 11.781 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of CaO produced = 6.81 g
Mass of CaCO₃ react = 20.7 g
Theoretical yield = ?
Percent yield = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂
Number of moles of CaCO₃ :
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 20.7 g/ 100.1 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.21 mol
Now we will compare the moles of CaCO₃ with CaO.
CaCO₃ : CaO
1 : 1
0.21 : 0.21
Theoretical yield of CaO:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.21 mol × 56.1 g/mol
Mass = 11.781 g
Percent yield:
Percent yield = ( actual yield / theoretical yield ) × 100
Percent yield = (6.81 g/ 11.781 g) × 100
Percent yield = 57.8 %
Atomic mass C = 12.0107
Atomic mass O= 15.9994
Calculate the molecular mass of the CO2
12.0107 + (2 x 15.9994) = 44.0095
Multiply the mass of CO2 by the conversion factor that relate the O mass to the molecular mass of CO2 to find the mass of O in the 71.89g of CO2
71.89 g CO2 x (2 x 15.9994) / 44.0095 =
52.2703900748702
52.27 g O
Example #1 write the chemical formula for Calcium Oxide
Step 1
-Find the Atomic symbol of the metal and non-metal on the periodic table
CaO
Step 2
Find the charges for Calcium and Oxygen
which are Ca 2+ and O 2-
Step 3
Balance out the charges
They are already balanced out
Here´s the chemical formula for Calcium Oxide
CaO
Example 2 write the chemical formula for Aluminum Oxide
Step 1
-Find the Atomic symbol of the metal and non-metal on the periodic table
A
l
O
Step 2
Find the charges for Aluminum and Oxygen
Which are Al 3+ and O 2-
Step 3
Balance out the charges
You need 2 Aluminum and 3 Oxygen to balance the charges
Al 3+ O 2-
Al 3+ O 2-
= 6 + O 2-
= 6-
Step 4
If you need more then one element to balance out the charges you identify that by using subscripts
Heres your chemical formula for Aluminum Oxide
