Chapter 9, Problem 63APP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : The theoretical yield in grams of carbon dioxide should be calculated.

Concept Introduction : The actual yield of the product is the amount of product which is formed at the end of reaction experimentally whereas theoretical yield represents the amount of product calculated by expecting that 100 % of reactant changes to product. The percent yield can be shown as:

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