Chapter 3, Problem 132RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The theoretical yield and percentage yield of ${\text{Na}}_2{\text{CO}}_3$ are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

 A balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the total charge and the number of atoms of each element are to be balanced for both reactants and products.

 Percentage yield is the percentage of actual yield over theoretical yield. The percentage yield is expressed as follows:

$\%=\left(\frac{a}{t}\right)100$

Here, $a$ is the actual yield and t is the theoretical yield.
