Percentage yield and reversible reactions

?
Percentage yield compares?
actual and predicted yeild
1 of 26
What is a yield?
The amount of product you get
2 of 26
The more reactants you start with , the higher?
the actual yield will be
3 of 26
But the percentage yeild doesn't depend on the amount of reactants you start with , its the?
the amount of reactants you start with-its the percentage
4 of 26
The predicted yield of a reaction can be calculated with?
from the balanced reaction equation
5 of 26
What is the percentage formula?
percentage yield=actual yield divided by predicted yield time 100
6 of 26
Percentage yield is always between?
0-100%
7 of 26
the 100% yield means?
that you got all the product you expected to get
8 of 26
The 0% means?
no reactants were converted into product (no product made)
9 of 26
Yields are always less than?
100%
10 of 26
Even though no atoms are gained or lost in reactions , in real life you never get?
100% yield
11 of 26
Some product or reactants always get lost and that goes for?
big industrials processes as well as school lab experiments
12 of 26
What are the following reasons for this?
1) reversible reactions 2)filter liquid 3) does not go exactly to plan
13 of 26
1)what is a reversible reaction?
is one where the procuts of the reaction can themselves react to produce original reactants
14 of 26
For example?
ammonium chloride------ ammonia + hydrogen chloride
15 of 26
This means?
that the reactants will never be completely converted to products because the reaction goes both ways.
16 of 26
Some of the products are always?
reacting together to change back to the original reactants
17 of 26
This will mean a lower?
yield
18 of 26
2)When you filter a liquid to remove solid particles , you nearly always lose?
abit of liquid or solid
19 of 26
So some of the products may be lost when?
its separated from the reaction mixture
20 of 26
3)Things don't always go exactly to plan, sometimes there can be other unexpected reactions happening which?
use up the reactants
21 of 26
This means?
there is not that as much reactants to make the product you want
22 of 26
Product yield is important for?
sustainable development
23 of 26
What is sustainable development?
is about making sure that we don't use resources faster than they can be replaced-there needs to be a future generation too
24 of 26
For example?
using as little energy as possible to create the highest product yield as possible this means that resources are saved
25 of 26
A low yeild means?
wasted chemicals- not very sustainable
