Question

NaHCO3+HCI--->NaCI+H2O+CO2

Percent yield:93.4%

how would the percent yield be affected if some sodium hydrogen carbonate is left unreacted? explain

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

percent yield is ratio of actual yield or experimental yield divided by theoretical yield multiplied by 100 .

percent yield of 93.4 % means , the actual yield is 93.4 % what was expected from the reaction on the basis of given chemical reaction .

If in the experimental process , some sodium hydrogen carbonate is left unreacted due to absence of reactant HCl which is also required to obtain product , the percent yield will be increased if the required HCl is also provided .

Hence the percent yield will be increased if required HCl is made available .
