6.) If our actual yield was 13 grams of sodium chloride, what would our percent yield for <strong>this</strong> reaction <strong>be</strong>?Formula for percent yield is:Example: I expected to get 30 grams; I ended up getting 25 grams.7.) Is the answer in #6 reasonable? If so, explain why <strong>you</strong> think <strong>this</strong> was a reasonable answer.8.) What are some factors that might cause the percent yield to <strong>be</strong> lower than 100%? Make sure <strong>you</strong> discuss specificexamples of how <strong>this</strong> might happen.<strong>In</strong>troduction<strong>In</strong> <strong>this</strong> lab, <strong>you</strong> <strong>will</strong> need to do a reaction where baking soda <strong>will</strong> react with an excess of vinegar. By doing <strong>this</strong>, <strong>you</strong> <strong>will</strong>(hopefully!) ensure that <strong>you</strong> <strong>will</strong> get 100% actual yield for the reaction.For our reaction, we <strong>will</strong> need to use 0.05 moles of baking soda, which we <strong>will</strong> call by its chemical name, sodiumhydrogen carbonate (NaHCO 3 ) for the rest of <strong>this</strong> lab. If we use much more than 0.05 moles of baking soda, the reaction<strong>will</strong> <strong>be</strong> too large and we <strong>will</strong> rest having some of the reaction products pour over the side of the flask when we mix itwith the vinegar (which we call acetic acid – CH 3 COOH).<strong>In</strong> the space <strong>be</strong>low, use dimensional analysis to calculate the amount of sodium hydrogen carbonate we <strong>will</strong> need for<strong>this</strong> lab:FOR THIS LAB, WE WILL USE ______________GRAMS OF SODIUM HYDROGEN CARBONATE52
