Lab Questions:
1. Write down the equation of the reation that we did in this lab. (Hint: The reaction is discussed in the introduction to this lab.
2. Using the exact weight of sodium hydgrogen carbonate that you measured in step 1 and the equation that you wrote in the problem above, what is the theoretical yield of this reaction?
3. Calculate the actual yield of sodium acetate that you recovered in this lab, using the mass of the empty flask and the mass of the flask after the reaction.
4. Usin the actual yield of sodium acetate that you measured in step 3 and the theoretical yield of sodium acetate that you calculated in step 2, calculate the percent yield of sodium acetate recovered in this lab.
5. Was your percent yield of sodium acetate 100%? What factors do you think caused any error that you found? Expalin, using specific examples.
6. Do you think it is common for chemists to get 100% yields for chemical reactions? Why or why not?
7. If you had to do this lab again, what would you do differently to improve your answers? Explain, using specific examples.
Conclusion: Explain percent yield; use percent yield data and explain yield problems. Include usual info in conclusion.
