Reversible Reactions And Percentage Yield Flashcards
1
Q
What is a reversible reaction?
A
One where the products of the reaction can they themselves react to produce the original reactants
2
Q
What are the reasons for less than 100% yield?
A
The reaction is reversible
Some solid or liquid has been lost through filtration
An unexpected reaction occurs that uses up some of the
3
Q
Why is a high yield reaction more sustainable?
A
Because it means that less reactants must be used to create a lot of the products.
