Question

What happens when a solution of is added to a solution of ?

Answer

The chemical reaction that would occur is provided below:

This type of reaction is called a double displacement reaction in which there is an exchange of ions between two compounds. This type of reaction usually results in the formation of a precipitate or gas. In terms of the positive ions, the switch places to form two new products.

Determine the percentage yield of the reaction given if 40.0 grams of is heated to give 15.0 grams of .

Answer

In chemistry, percentage yield is a term used to quantify the efficiency of a chemical reaction. In order to calculate this quantity, the value for the actual yield and theoretical yield is needed. The actual yield is the amount of product obtained during a chemical reaction. The theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product possible to be obtain by a chemical reaction which is based on the amount of reactants used. Below is the formula needed to calculate the percentage yield.

Convert the number of grams of to moles:

Based on the chemical equation 1 mole of is produced for every 1 mole of reacted.

Convert the moles of to grams:
