Abigail obtained 40.2 grams of calcium carbonate after performing a reaction. From her calculations, she knew she should have obtained 45.8 grams. What was her percent yield? Round your answer to one place behind the decimal. Do not include the unit.

Percent yield = 87.77%

Explanation:

Given:

Actual yield = 40.2 grams

Theoretical yield = 45.8 grams

Find:

Percent yield

Computation:

Percent yield = [Actual yield / Theoretical yield] 100

Percent yield = [40.2 / 45.8] 100

Percent yield = 87.77%

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
