Calculate Percent Yield:
Palm oil was used for the creation of soap. The mass of the oil was 2.001 grams. The base used was 3 M of NaOH. After the experiment, the mass of the soap was 1.622 grams. What is the percent yield?
The average molar mass of the palm oil is 847.3 grams per mol. The average molar mass of the soap is 291.7 grams per mol. 3 mL of the base (NaOH) was used.

The Keq for the conversion of A to B is 1.15 x 10-3. the Keq for the hydrolysis of ATP to Pi and ADP is 2.24 x 105. the net conversion of A to B cannot take place if the molar ratio of B to A is greater than or equal to 1.15 x 10-3. However, A can be converted to B if the reaction is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP. Please explain and show any work!

A 49.96 mL sample containing La3+ was treated with
sodium oxalate to precipitate
La2(C2O4)3, which was
washed, dissolved in acid, and titrated with 18.04 mL of 0.006363
MKMnO4. Calculate the molarity of
La3+ in the unknown.
(Hint: the reaction involved in the titration was: permanganate
ion(s) + oxalate (ions) -----> manganese(II) ions + carbon
dioxide. The reaction occurred in acidic aqueous solution)

In an experiment to study the reactivity of Sn(s), Ga(s), Be(s), and Pd(s), the following reactions were observed:
2 Ga(s) + 3 Sn2+(aq) -> 3 Sn(s) + 2 Ga3+(aq)
Ga(s) + Be2+(aq) -> (No evidence of reaction)
Sn(s) + Pd2+(aq) -> Pd(s) + Sn2+(aq)
Then the question lists all of the metals and their respective ions:
1. Sn(s) 2. Ga(s) 3. Be(s) 4. Pd(s) 5. Ga3+(aq) 6. Sn2+(aq) 7. Be2+(aq) 8. Pd2+(aq)
So I need to list out the following:
The oxidizing agents from strongest to weakest
The reducing agents from strongest to weakest
I have tried to answer this question using my provided "Table of Selected Standard Electrode Potentials", however, I can only find one metal and its respective ions, Se, in the table.
Would someone be able to explain how I can answer this question when the aforementioned substances aren't on the table? It would be greatly appreciated.
