If 3.48 g of copper are recovered at the end of this experiment after allowing 4.00 g of copper to react with nitric acid in reaction #1, what is the theoretical yield and the actual percent yield of the reaction?

Answer : The theoretical yield and actual yield of the reaction are 4.00 g and 3.48 g respectively.

Explanation :

Theoretical yield : It is calculated from the amount of the limiting reagent present in the reaction.

Actual yield : It is experimentally determined. That means the amount obtained at the end of the experiment.

From this we conclude that, 3.48 g is the actual yield of the reaction because this amount is obtained at the end of the experiment and 4.00 g is the theoretical yield of the reaction because this amount is used in the calculation that means it is a calculated amount.

Hence, the theoretical yield and actual yield of the reaction are 4.00 g and 3.48 g respectively.

a  solution  is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. the  solution  is homogeneous and does not settle out. a colloid is intermediate between asolution  and a  suspension. while asuspension  will separate out a colloid will not.
