Bob measured out 1.60 grams of sodium. He calculates that 1.60 g of sodium should produce 4.07 g of NaCl. In his lab, he only makes 3.45 g.
What is his percent yield?

distance, luminosity, brightness, radius, chemical composition, and temperature

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
