Given that H2 + Cl2 --> 2HCl, what mass of HCl would you expect to produce with 17.75g of Cl2? (RAM of H = 1, RAM of Cl = 35.5)
Question 11
Question
True or false? The formula to work out percentage yield is theoretical yield/actual yield * 100.
Question 12
Question
Given that CaCO3 --> CaO + CO2, what is the percentage yield of CaO if 100g of CaCO3 were used and 39g of CaO were collected? (RAM of Ca = 40, RAM of C = 12, RAM of O = 16)
Question 13
Question
Why is the percentage yield of a reaction rarely 100%?
Answer
-
The reaction may be reversible
-
Some of the product may not be collected
-
The reaction may be incomplete
-
The product may have been hidden
Question 14
Question
What is a reversible reaction?
Answer
-
One in which the reaction is always incomplete
-
One in which the products may react to produce reactants
-
One in which the products disintegrate upon production
