Physical Science 20 - Oct 20

Today in class we finished up stoichiometry by looking at percent yield problems.  These are situations where you are given a certain amount of reactant and also given how much product that produces in an experiment.  Using stoichiometry, one can figure out how much product you should have produced, but due to experimental design and setup, these values are always more than what the experiment yielded.  We figured out how to calculate the percent yield of these situations.  These values should always be less then 100%.  These notes were covered on slides 26-30 in the notes and students then spent the rest of class working on Assignment C26. 

We have many things happening in the class at the moment.  Tomorrow is your stoichiometry quiz on Assignment C24.  On Thursday, the report for Lab C4 is due.  With those two things on your plate at the moment, Assignment C26 and yesterday's Assignment C25 will be due on Monday.  You will be given time in class over the next couple of days to work on them.
