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.

Sodium and oxygen react to form sodium oxide according to the equation. 4 Na (s) + O2 (g) → 2 Na2O (s) Consider the reaction that occurs if 20.0 g sodium and 10.0 g of oxygen are mixed and the reaction proceeds with a 49% yield. Calculate both the theoretical yield and actual yield of Na2Oformed, in grams. Report both values with 3 significant figures.
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.
