The chemical equation representing the reaction between baking soda and acetic acid :
According to the Law of conservation of mass, the overall mass is conserved in a chemical reaction. That is total mass of reactants is equal to the mass of the products.
Given here Mass of Baking soda = 15 g
Mass of acetic acid = 10 g
Total mass of the reactants = 15 g +10 g = 25 g
After the reaction, total mass of products = 23 g
This difference in masses must be because one of product carbon dioxide is a gas, which is lost and hence the mass of products is lower than the mass of reactants. Therefore, the mass is conserved in this reaction.
Answer : BaS will be the precipitate which will be formed.
Explanation : When all the three solutions namely; are mixed together a white precipitate of BaS
is formed as a product in the solution along with the soluble by product of Ammonium nitrate which is
The answer is:
The percent yield of the reaction is 32.45%
<h2>Why?</h2>To calculate the percent yield, we have to consider the theoretical yield and the actual yield. The theoretical yield as its name says is the yield expected, however, many times the difference between the theoretical yield and the actual yield is notorious.
We are given that:
Now, to calculate the percent yield, we need to divide the actual yield by the theoretical and multiply it by 100.
So, calculating we have:
Hence, we have that the percent yield of the reaction is 32.45%.
Have a nice day!
