A student performs an synthesis of calcium carbonate from
solutions of calcium chloride and sodium carbonate. The student
measured the mass of the final CaCO3 product and
calculates the percent yield. Select all the true statements from
the choices below.
Measurement errors could make the apparent percent yield either
greater or less than 100%.
If the student did not completely dry the product before
weighing it, the percent yield would be greater than 100%.
If the student spilled some of the calcium carbonate before
weighing it, the percent yield would be less than 100%
The percent yield can never be greater than 100%.
