What is the percent recovery if you begin with 0.482 grams of copper and recover 0.325 g? Include one decimal place in the answer and do not include the % sign.
Answer
(0.325/0.482)*100 = ?
67.43
If you start with 0.502 g of Cu and recover 0.487 g, calculate the % recovery.
To calculate the percent recovery, you need to divide the amount recovered by the initial amount and then multiply by 100.
In this case, the amount recovered is 0.325 grams and the initial amount is 0.482 grams.
So, the percent recovery can be calculated as:
Percent recovery = (amount recovered / initial amount) * 100
Substituting the given values:
Percent recovery = (0.325 / 0.482) * 100
Calculating this:
Percent recovery = 0.673867 * 100 = 67.4
Therefore, the percent recovery is 67.4.
