If you start with 8.95 g of crude sulfanilamide and recrystallize it from ethanol to recover 7.20 g of pure sulfanilamide, what is the percent recovery

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\% rec=80.4\%[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the percent recovery for this crystallization operation is computed as shown below:

[tex]\% rec=\frac{m_{recovered}}{m_{initial}} *100\%[/tex]

Thus, by plugging in the initial 8.95 g and the recovered 7.20 g, we obtain:

[tex]\% rec=\frac{7.20g}{8.95g} *100\%\\\\\% rec=80.4\%[/tex]

Best regards!
