Chapter 3.4, Problem 3.18AFP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The percent yield of carbon dioxide is to be interpreted when $\text{10}\text{.0 g}$ marble undergoes reaction with hydrochloric acid. $\text{3}\text{.65 g}$ of carbon dioxide is also collected.

Concept Introduction:

The actual yield of the product is the amount of product, which forms at the end of the reaction experimentally whereas theoretical yield represents the amount of product calculated by expecting that 100 % of reactant change to the product.

The percent yield is:

  $\text{Percent yield = }\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times \text{100}$
