A student performed an experiment and obtained over 100% yield. What can you most likely conclude from this result? The student's product is pure. The student's product is contaminated. There is no correlation between an experiment and the percent yield. The student must have spilled some reagents. The student performed the experiment exceptionally well.

A newspaper article states that biomass has actually been used as an energy source throughout human history. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Defend your answer.
Methanol, CH3OH, can be prepared from carbon monoxide and hydrogen. CO(g) + 2 H2(g) CH3OH(l) What mass of hydrogen is required to produce 1.0 L of CH3OH (d = 0.791 g/mL) if this reaction has a 74% yield under certain conditions?
The actual yield can best be described as the total amount of material involved in a reaction. the amount of reactant left at the end of a reaction. the amount of product recovered at the end of a reaction. the amount of product you could make if a reaction went to completion.

Balance and complete the following combustion reaction. Enter the sum of the balanced coefficients as your answer. Assign "blank" coefficients a value of 1. tetracarbon herahydride (g) + oxygen (g) →?
The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation provide the mole-to- mole stoichiometry among the reactants and products. The molar mass (in g/mol) can be used as the conversion factor between moles and the mass of a substance. Thus, the balanced equation and molar masses can be used in conjunction with one another to calculate the masses involved in a reaction. Complete combustion of methane When methane (CH4) burns, it reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is CH₂(g) + O₂(g) →CO₂(g) + H₂O(g) This type of reaction is referred to as a complete combustion reaction. Review Constants Perio Part A What coefficients are needed to balance the equation for the complete combustion of methane? Enter the coefficients in the order CH4, O2, CO2, and H₂O, respectively. Express your answer as four integers, separated by commas (e.g., 1,2,3,4).
