What is the difference between actual yield and theoretical yield? A) Actual yield has to do only with the reactants of a reaction, and theoretical yield has to do only with the products of a reaction. B) Actual yield is how much is actually produced in a reaction (it has to be given or measured), and theoretical yield is a calculation that has to be done. C) Actual yield is how much the reaction produces, and theoretical yield is how much a reaction consumes. D) Actual yield has to do with how much you can actually get out of a reaction, and theoretical yield is how much you can get out of a reaction if you have maximum starting materials.

A student is performing an experiment in the laboratory to determine the oxidation of copper (Cu). Cu reacts with oxygen in the air to formCuO in thefollowing reaction: Cu (s) + O2(g) →CuO (s) The student weighted 1.528gof Cu (s)powderin a crucible and heatedthe sample with a Bunsen burner.Even by using the Cuinpowderform and heating the sample there is unreacted Cu left in the crucible.After heating the student weighted the substance inside the crucible to be 3.647g. 1) If the student weighted 3.647 g of substance in the crucible. Calculate how much of this is unreacted Cu (s) and how much is CuO (s). (Hint: use the balanced chemical equation). 2) Once you know the amount of CuO (s) obtained in this experiment, calculate the percent yieldof CuO in this experiment.

Cinnabar, (or Cinnabarite) HgSHgS is the common ore of mercury. Because of its mercury content, cinnabar can be tpxoc to human beings; however, because of its red color, it has also been used since ancient times as a pigment. Alchemists produced elemental mercury by roasting cinnabar ore in air: HgS(s)+O2(g) → Hg(l) + SO2(g) The votality and toxicity of mercury make this a hazardous procedure, which likely shortened the life span of many alchemists. Given 100g of cinnabar, a. How much elemtal mercury can be produced from this reaction? b. How much oxygen is required to completely react with the given amount of cinnabar?
