12 LR and PY 3-4 8.344 grams of sodium hydroxide is reacted with 20.22 grams of magnesium nitrate, according to the reaction
NaOH + Mg(NO), NONO, + Mg(OH)2
a) Balance the equation.
b) Determine whether NaOH or Mg(NO), is the limiting reactant. (MM NaOH - 40.0 g/mol; MM Mg(NO) -
148.3 g/mol)
c) Find the theoretical yield of magnesium containing product..
d) Determine the percent yield if you ran this reaction in a lab and obtained 5.3 of magnesium containing product..
e) On another occasion the chemist ran the reaction again and obtained a percent yield of 116%. Assuming that no
calculation errors were made, what does this % yield value mean about the quality of the product that was
weighed?
