Theoretical Yield, Molar Mass, and Percent Yield

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the molar mass of calcium chloride dihydrate (CaCl2 • 2H2O), determining the theoretical yield of calcium carbonate from a reaction involving 2.97 grams of the dihydrate, and calculating the percent yield based on an actual yield of 1.46 grams. The molar mass calculation involves adding the atomic weights of calcium, chlorine, hydrogen, and oxygen, rounded to the hundredths place. The theoretical yield is derived using stoichiometry, recognizing a 1:1 ratio between CaCl2 • 2H2O and CaCO3. Finally, the percent yield is calculated using the formula: (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) x 100%.

Hi, I have a few questions that I am struggling with. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Question 1
Calculate the molar mass of calcium chloride dihydrate, CaCl2 • 2H2O.
Please use the Periodic Table values rounded to the hundredths place for your calculation and round your answer to the hundredths place and remember, the "dot" (•) means closely associated, reprsenting the ADDITION of two waters of hydration to the calcium chloride formula unit.

Question 2
What is the theoretical yield of calcium carbonate if 2.97 grams of calcium chloride dihydrate reacts with excess sodium carbonate according to the balanced chemical reaction shown below?

Please use molar mass values calculated and rounded to the hundredths place, and round your answer to the hundredths place.

Question 3
What is the percent yield of calcium carbonate if your theoretical yield was 2.07 grams, and your actual yield was 1.46 grams, from the balanced chemical reaction shown below?
Please round your answer to the tenths place.
CaCl2•2H20(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)->CaCO3(aq)+2NaCL(aq)+2H20(I)

1) Simply use the molar masses provided by the periodic table to calculate the molar mass. So you'd take 40.00g (Ca) +2(35.45g Cl) + 4(1.01g H) + 2(16.00g) to find your molar mass.

2) Divide 2.97 g by the molar mass of CaCl2•2H20(aq) you got in 1). Using stoichiometry, CaCl2•2H20(aq) to CaCO3(aq) is a 1:1 ratio, which means your theoretical yield would be whatever answer you got from 2.97g/Molar Mass of CaCl2•2H20(aq).

3) Percent Yield = ( Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield ) x 100%
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
