The theoretical yield of carbon dioxide is 8.93 g
Before performing chemical reactions, it is helpful to know how much product will be produced with given quantities of reactants. This is known as the theoretical yield. This is a strategy to use when calculating the theoretical yield of a chemical reaction. The same strategy can be applied to determine the amount of each reagent needed to produce a desired amount of product.
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) became the first gas that was distinguished from ordinary air. In 1630 or so, Jan Baptist van Helmont, a Flemish chemist, identified a vapor distinct from the air when he burned charcoal in a closed vessel. He then called the vapor “wood gas” (spiritus sylvestris). He thought that it was an element or a single substance.1 In 1756, Joseph Black, a Scottish physician, noticed this gas when heating calcium carbonate (CaCO3). He called it “fixed air”. He also identified it from exhaled breath and described it as denser than the air faintly acidic. In 1803, John Dalton (an English chemist) proposed that this substance is comprised of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Now, it is called “carbon dioxide”.
- Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound made up of a carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Each of the oxygen atoms is attached to the central carbon atom by a double covalent bond. The C-O bond has a length of 116.3 pm. The configuration of the compound is linear and centrosymmetric. Its chemical formula is CO2.
