A traditional analysis for samples containing calcium ion was to precipitate the calcium ion with sodium oxalate
:math>
ppose a sample contained 0.1014 g of calcium ion. What theoretical yield of calcium oxalate would be expected? If only 0.2995 g of calcium oxalate is collected, what percentage of the theoretical yield does that represent?
Interpretation:
The theoretical yield and percentage yield of calcium oxalate should be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
A balanced chemical equation is an equation that contains same number of atoms as well as of each element of reactants and products of reaction.
For example, the reaction between lead sulphide and oxygen is as follows:
The limiting reactant in a particular reaction has due to following properties:
Theoretical yield is also known as calculated yield. Theoretical yield is the amount of product which is theatrically calculates by the amount of limiting agent. It is the maximum amount of product which is formed in any reaction.
Other name of actual yield is observed yield.
The percentage yield is calculated by the actual or observed experimental yield divided by the theoretical yield and multiplied by 100.
The percentage yield can be calculates by the use of following expression:
Theoretical yield is the greatest amount of a product possible from a reaction, when assume that the reaction goes to 100% competition.
The balance equation for the calcium and oxalate ions is as follows:
Given:
Amount of
Calculation:
