You will analyze four substances in this lab. Based on their chemical formulas and what you already know about covalent and ioni
2 answers:
Answer: Oil: covalent
Cornstarch: Covalent
Sodium chloride: Ionic
Sodium bicarbonate: Ionic
Explanation: Covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons between non metals whereas ionic compounds are formed by transfer of electrons from metals to non metals.
1. Oil, which is built from the nonmetals hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen: forms a covalent compound by sharing of electrons between non metals hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. Covalent compounds are insoluble in water.
2. Cornstarch, a carbohydrate consisting of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen: forms a covalent compound by sharing of electrons between non metals hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. Covalent compounds are insoluble in water.
3. Sodium chloride (table salt), whose formula is NaCl is formed by transfer of electrons from sodium to chlorine.Ionic compounds are soluble in water.
4. Sodium bicarbonate, whose formula is is formed by transfer of electrons from sodium to
.Ionic compounds are soluble in water.

1.5 % is the percent yield in the reaction.
Explanation:
Given that:
original mass of the sample used in reaction = 1.897 grams
product formed after decomposition = 1.071 grams
The reaction for the decomposition:
Mg(HCO3)2 (s) ⇒ CO2 (g) + H2O (g) + MgCO2 (s)
It says that 1 mole of Mg(HCO3)2 yielded 1 mole of MgCO2 on decomposition
68.31 grams/mole or 68.31 grams of MgCO2 is formed
percent yield = x 100
putting the values in the equation:
percent yield =
= 0.015 x100
PERCENT YIELD = 1.5 %
