Recycling Aluminum Synthesis Lab Report
Recycling Aluminum Chemically
Question: How does theoretical yield of Aluminum compare with the percent yield?
Data:
Mass of aluminum foil 1.033g
Mass of filter paper 0.472g
Mass of Al crystals, filter paper, weight boat 20.823g
Mass of weigh boat 2.064g
Mass of Al crystals 18.287g
Claim: Based on my calculations, the theoretical yield of Aluminum was 18.160g, and the actual yield was 18.287g. This gives a percent yield of 100.699%.
Evidence/
Reasoning: By looking at the overall reaction involved in the lab, we can see that two moles of Aluminum are needed to react in the reaction, producing 2 moles of KAl(SO4)2 ·12H2O. This lets us know that however many moles of Aluminum there are in the original sample will be equal to
