Question

A metal oxide reacts with water to produce a metal hydroxide. What additional information would you need to determine the percent yield of metal hydroxide from this reaction?

Answer 1

theoretical yield and actual yield.
Instead of theoretical yield, if you knew the name of the metal, an equation could be written and the theoretical yield could be calculated.

Answer 2

Thanks! And can you calculate the percent yield if they don't give the actual yield?

Answer 3

No. Unless they give some data that would allow you to calculate actual yield; such as, so much was obtained under different conditions, things like that.

Answer 4

K thanks
