Cloves are approximately 17% eugenol by weight. Calculate the theoretical mass of eugenol that can be recovered from the cloves you weighed and percent recovery for your experiment based on this mass. Do not use the values from the Sapling questions to calculate these numbers!

Incomplete exercise: isolated 0.169 g of eugenol from 5.09 g of cloves

The answer is:

The theoretical mass of eugenol is 0.8653 g and the percent recovery is 19.53%

Explanation:

The theoritical mass is equal to:

The percent recovery is:

%

the electrical  conductivity  of asolution  of an electrolyte is measured by determining the resistance of thesolution  between two flat or cylindrical electrodes separated by a fixed distance.
