Calcium oxide reacts with water in a combination reaction to produce calcium hydroxide:
CaO(s) + H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(s)
In a particular experiment, a 1.00 g sample of CaO is reacted with excess water and 0.82 g of Ca(OH)2 is recovered. What is the percent yield in this experiment?
a. 122
b. 1.44
c. 62.2
d. 0.82
e. 82.1
How many significant figures are there in the answer for the following problem?
[(165.7 - 143) × 4.08] / 0.800 = ?
