In a certain chemical reaction Compound A combines with Compound B to produce Compound C (and no other products). Measurements were taken of the amounts of A and B present before and after a reaction that produced some C: Compound initial amount final amount A 4.0g 0g B 9.0g 5.1g Calculate the theoretical yield of C. Round your answer to the nearest 0.1g. Suppose the percent yield of C in this reaction was 63.%. Calculate the actual amount of C that was isolated at the end of the reaction. Round your answer to the nearest 0.1g.

Theoretical yield of C = 7.9 g

Actual amount of C isolated = 5.0 g

Explanation:

Given that in the reaction, Compound A combines with Compound B t o produce Compound C and no other products, the reaction is a combination reaction. The equation of the reaction is given below:

A + B ---> C

Part A:

From the measurement of the masses of A and B present before and after the reaction, the following values were obtained:

Initial mass of A = 4.0 g

Final mass of A = 0.0 g

Mass of A used up + 4.0 - 0.0 = 4.0 g

Initial mass of B = 9.0 g

Final mass of B = 5.1 g

Mass of B used up = 9.0 - 5.1 = 3.9 g

According to the law of conservation of mass, matter can neither be created nor destroyed but can change from one form to another. Therefore, theoretical yield of C equal the sum of the masses of A and B used up.

Theoretical yield of C = 4.0 + 3.9 = 7.9 g

Part B:

Given that the percent yield is 63.0 % = 0.63

Actual amount of C isolated = 0.63 * 7.9 = 5.0 g
