Stoichiometry Lab Report
Part I: Percent Yield
Purpose: To make NaCl from NaHCO3 and HCl and to determine the percent yield of the reaction.
Mass Of empty beaker:
Mass of NaHCO3:
moles NaHCO3 =
Mass of beaker after heating:
Mass of NaCl:
moles NaCl =
Theoretical yield of NaCl in g Calculation:
% Yield Calculation:
Source of error and its effect on percent yield and/or purity of NaCl:
Modification:
Conclusion: The yield of sodium chloride was grams, giving a % yield of .
Postlab (Part 1) Calculate the mass of NaCl produced by the reaction of 7.53 g Na2CO3 with concentrated HCl according to the reaction: Na2CO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) -> 2NaCl(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g)
