There is quite a bit of missing information here.

a. Lets assume your pressure is 1 atm.
b. Lets also assume you are distilling methanol and water.
c. Lets assume your theoretical plate efficiency is 100%
d. Lets ALSO assume your initial concentration is 0.1 mol% methanol.

Given these condition it takes about 1.25 theoretical plates to distill it to about 49 mol%.

The number of plates depends heavily on the initial concentration.
Working backwards from 49mol%, exactly one stage would place you at an initial concentration of about 8%. Exactly two would place you at about 1 mol%.

Would the percent yield be different if the actual yield and theoretical yield were in units of moles?

No, the percent yield would not be affected by the units of the actual and theoretical yield as long as they are consistent. Percent yield is calculated as (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%, where the units cancel out in the division.


The actual yield of the given reaction is 14.4what is your percent yield?

To calculate percent yield, you would use the formula: (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100%. If the actual yield is 14.4 and the theoretical yield is not provided, the percent yield cannot be calculated accurately without the theoretical yield.


If the actual yield of Mg3N2 is 47.87 g and the theoretical is 50.26 g What is the percent yield?

Percent yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield * 100 hope that helps :)


What is the percent yield for the reaction below when 544.5 g SO2 and 160.0 g O2 produce 382.0 g SO3?

Percent yield = (actual yield ÷ theoretical yield) × 100% Calculate the moles of SO2 and O2 used, then determine the limiting reactant. From the limiting reactant, calculate the theoretical yield of SO3. Compare the actual yield to the theoretical yield to calculate the percent yield.


Would the experimental percent oxygen be higher or lower than the theoretical percent oxygen?

The experimental percent oxygen may be lower than the theoretical percent oxygen due to factors such as experimental error, incomplete reactions, or impurities in the sample. Variability in experimental conditions can influence the accuracy of the results obtained.

What is the final percent concentration of the solution when 600 ml of 100 percent methanol added to 4400 ml of water?

The final percent concentration of the solution would be approximately 12.0% methanol. This is calculated by dividing the volume of methanol by the total volume of the solution (600 ml / 5000 ml) and then multiplying by 100 to get the percentage.


What is the percent by volume of 25 ml of methanol in 75 ml of water?

With 25ml methanol and 75ml water, there is 100ml in total. So there is 25/100 = 25% by volume methanol.


How do you show percent error?

Percent error = (actual value - theoretical value) / theoretical value * 100%
