In an experiment you are performing, you are told to measure out 2.3 grams of one reactant

and 4.5 grams of the other reactant. You

measure the exact amount of each substance

and put each in a separate beaker. The

procedures ask you to use Deionized pure

water to dissolve each of the reactants with

Next, you are told to pour one of the dissolved

reactants into the other and watch as the

reaction occurs creating a solid precipitate. To

measure the amount of precipitate/product

made, you must filter that solid using a funnel

and filter paper. You notice that there is a slight

tear in the filter paper and some solid moving

into the beaker below the filter funnel. When

the liquid completely filters away and you

measure the solid precipitate, do you expect

the percent yield of the experiment to be

higher or lower than 100% and Why?
