Percent Yield Lab
Objective: Determine the percent yield of NaCl in a chemical reaction.
Materials:
Evaporating dish
Watch glass
Digital balance
Sodium bicarbonate
Wire mesh
Scoopula
Plastic pipette
Hydrochloric acid
Hot plate
Crucible tongs
Methods:
First, the mass of the empty, clean, and dry evaporating dish and watch glass was recorded using the digital balance, while the hot plate was set to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. 1 gram of sodium bicarbonate was added into the evaporating dish and the mass was recorded again. A plastic pipette was used and filled with HCl, which was added to the sodium bicarbonate. The two reactants, NaHCO3 and HCl, were mixed together and the reaction was observed. …show more content…

During the reaction, NaHCO3 and HCl fizzed and bubbled when reacting. Both reactants started to condense, and vapor and steam were present as the dish became foggy. Intense bubbling occurred and steam escaped from the evaporating dish. After heating, NaHCO3 and HCl started to solidify and dried …show more content…

The addition of HCl to NaHCO3 causes a rapid release of CO2 gas and the reaction also produces NaCl, which remains dissolved in the aqueous solution. After the reaction in the lab was complete, the evaporating dish contained a mixture of NaCl and excess water. The water needed to be removed to isolate the NaCl product, which was done by heating the evaporating dish to evaporate the water, causing a lot of steam to form inside the evaporating dish.. Once the water was evaporated, only the solid NaCl product remained in the evaporating dish. The mass of the NaCl product is used to calculate the percent yield of the reaction, a measure of how efficient the reaction was in producing the desired product. This lab demonstrates the concept of limiting reactants because the amount of product that can be produced is limited by the amount of reactant that is present in the smallest amount. The reactant that is completely consumed is the limiting reactant, and the amount of product that can be produced is determined by the amount of limiting reactant present. In this reaction, HCl was added in excess and NaHCO3 was the limiting

With the data collected from this chemical reaction percentage yield of the precipitate can be calculated to determine the effects of impurities in the reactants on percentage yield. PRE-LAB QUESTIONS 1. What is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction in this investigation? 2. Which reactant is considered impure in this investigation?

Using this number as well as the theoretical yield, the percentage yield was calculated and can be seen below in Figure 5. % Yield: (0.1805 g)/(0.3064 g) x 100 = 58.92% Figure 5: The calculations of the percent yield. The percentage yield was calculated to be 58.92% and this represents that a portion of the reactants were lost during the experiment due to a small spill or improper collection of the product during the purification process. Next, the spectrum of the product was obtained.

As seen in table 1, the theoretical yield was .712 g of C_17 H_19 NO_3. The % yield of this experiment was 7.51 % of C_17 H_19 NO_3. . This low yield can be explained from a poor recrystallization technique combined with potential contamination. Throughout the experiment, the mixture changed color from green, orange, to yellowish lime, and eventually clear.

Results The data obtained from the experiment had undergone statistical analysis using t-tests and the results were recorded in Figure 1.0 and Figure 1.1 above. According to the data obtained in Figure 1.0, the p-value is less than 0.05 in all 5 treatment solutions. It is also shown intensity Figure 1.0, the calculated t-value of each concentration of NaHCO3 in each treatment is greater than the critical t-value.

conclusion: The results show that when sodium bicarbonate is heated, it decomposes to form sodium carbonate (1.51g), and carbon dioxide gas. This is most likely because the percent yield was only 3.1% off. Sodium carbonate is known to be a solid crystal substance which agrees with the crystal structure substance formed on the crucible furthering the idea that sodium carbonate actually formed. We could have also tested this by dropping water onto the substances produced to see if it dissolves or not since sodium carbonate dissolves in water. In this experiment NaHCO3 decomposes into Na2CO3, CO2 and H2O when heated.

(150.22g/mol)(3.5 x 10^-3 mol of nucleophile) = 0.525 g Actual yield = 0.441 g, Percent Yield = (0.441g/0.525g) x 100% = 84% 10. Percent recovery from recrystallization = (0.172g/0.441g) x 100% = 38% 11.

Lab 27. Stoichiometry and Chemical Reactions Report In our lab we were asked Which Balanced Chemical Equation Best Represents the Thermal Decomposition of Sodium Bicarbonate. Sodium Bicarbonate is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3, also known as baking soda. In the process to answer our guiding question we have to determine how atoms are rearranged during a chemical reaction.

Firstly, because the NaHCO3 compound was not stored in a sealed container, therefore dust particles could have changed the results, and making the product impure. Also, there are uncertainties associated with the instruments used in this experiment. This, if the products were measured slightly more than should be, this could have affected the concentrations of the solutions, and therefore causing a larger

Procedure The various solids and liquids were used for this lab. The first experiment had effects of the temperature towards the chemical reaction. The first experiment had two test tubes filled with same amount of substances to react, but one was at 10 ºC while the other one was at 50 ºC. The second experiment involved different molar concentration of substances reacting. Individual test tube was filled with 1.0,

After the reaction finishes, the amount of CO2 that was released is calculated and then using the molemap, it is possible to solve for the amount of the unknown substance. The grams of the unknown powder are then divided by the moles of the substance to get the molar mass. This molar mass is then compared to the molar mass of the known substances. Unknown substance A is lithium carbonate since the molar mass produced in the experiment is 66.68 g/mol and the molar mass of lithium carbonate is 73.89 g/mol. Unknown substance B has a molar mass of 146.70 g/mol which is inconclusive since it is too different from the other molar masses.

If only one reactant is increased, then the chemical reaction will only produce a certain amount of products after the limiting reagent is used up, and in this experiment, the most mass the reaction could produce was 0.4 grams. Although we kept adding calcium chloride, not adding sodium hydroxide in the same proportions will not yield more product, which is the main goal in conducting this lab. We should have seen a plateau at 0.4 grams to show that the limiting reagent inhibited further Ca(OH)2 production, but we made several mistakes in our experiment, which made the data unusable to conclude. Once again, the data is polluted, so these number are not accurate, but it is the data our group has to work with. The theoretical yield should have been more than the actual yield, and the percentages should have been less than 100.

However, it is now known that that is not the fact, and that adding salt will do the opposite and make the water boil more slowly instead.
