Question

You are mixing CaCl2in water in a coffee cup calorimeter when you notice that the outer cup has a large hole in the bottom. You complete the experiment anyways and use your measured temperature change to find the enthalpy of neutralization.

The reaction is exothermic.

How does your calculated value compare to the actual value? Since the reaction is exothermic please state if the magnitude goes up, down or stays the same. Use equations as appropriate.

Expert Solution

Analysis

Given : substances Cacl2 and H2O.

           Calorimeter

To find : appropriate chemical equation. 

Solution : As we know that,  when we calculate the mass of product form any substance or more substance then the amount of product that is formed is known as theoretical yield. And generally theoretical yield is greater than actual yield.

And  as we know, 

Percentage yield = actual yield / theoretical yield
