Answer to Question #132911 in General Chemistry for van hnem

Question

The last calculated result on the report page is the ratio of moles of silver obtained to the moles of copper wire that reacted. Predict the effect that the following experimental errors would have on this ratio: would the result appear too high (H), too low (L), or would there be no effect (N)? Briefly justify your answers. [In this kind of question, you assume you are unaware that the error occurred.]
The silver had not been completely dried. _______
The original mass of the copper wire had mistakenly been recorded too low.___________
Some of the solution spattered out the beaker in step 2. __________

Answer 1

A)If the silver obtained from the reaction is not completely dried,then there will be more product than the theoretical yield

B)If the original mass of of the copper wire had been mistakenly recorded too low,there would be no effect on the theoretical yield

C)If some solution spattered out of the beaker ,there will be low product than the theoretical yield
