Chapter 6 - What Are The Mechanisms Of Chemical Change?

🌎 Real-World Analogy: Think of a reaction yield as baking a cake. The recipe says you&#39;ll get a 1kg cake (theoretical yield), but sometimes you only end up with 950g because a bit got stuck to the bowl or you ate some batter (experimental yield). The percentage yield is how close you got to the full 1kg!

<ul>
	<li>Definition: The total mass of products = total mass of reactants.</li>
	<li>Atomic Link: Atoms can&#39;t be created or destroyed; their count and mass remain unaffected in chemical reactions.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Theoretical Yield: Imaginary maximum! The amount/mass of the product we should get if everything went perfectly.</li>
	<li>Experimental Yield: Reality check! The actual amount/mass we obtain from an experiment.</li>
	<li>Percentage Yield: 🧮 Math time! It&#39;s the ratio between what we got (experimental) and what we expected (theoretical). Remember, it&#39;s a percentage, so don&#39;t forget to multiply by 100!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Our experimental yield can be equal to or less than the theoretical yield but can&#39;t exceed it. (After all, you can&#39;t magically get more cake than your recipe allows!)</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Medical Drugs: Must be 99% pure or higher! Impurities could be harmful. This requirement might reduce yield, making these drugs pricier.</li>
	<li>Industrial &amp; Agricultural Products: The purity can sometimes be less than 50%. It&rsquo;s all cool as long as the product does its job and is safe.</li>
</ul>

Example: Laundry detergents don&#39;t have to be 99% pure, but they better clean our clothes!

<ul>
	<li>Even a slight decrease in yield can mean 💰 big loss in profits.</li>
	<li>Low yields = more waste. We need to dispose of or reuse this waste.</li>
	<li>Green Chemistry: The superhero of the chemical world! It aims for efficient processes with less environmental harm. It&#39;s now embraced globally.</li>
</ul>

🌱 Fun Fact: Green chemistry is like a chef trying to use every bit of ingredients without wastage and without harming the environment. It&#39;s eco-friendly cooking, but for chemicals!

&nbsp;

Wrap-up: Yield is like the report card of a reaction - it tells us how well the reaction did compared to what was theoretically possible. And just like in school, there&#39;s always room to improve and be more efficient! 🌟
