What is the percent yield (omit % symbol in the answer) if reaction of 42.3 g of carbon yields
44.7 g of carbon disulfide? 5 C(s) + 2 SO2 (9) CS2 (9) + 4CO (9)

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Y=81.5\%[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, for the undergoing chemical reaction:

[tex]5 C(s) + 2 SO_2 (g)\rightarrow CS_2 (g) + 4CO (g)[/tex]

In such a way, since 44.7 g of carbon disulfide (76 g/mol) are actually yielded, we need to compute the theoretical yield via the 42.3 g of carbon (12 g/mol) and the 1:5 mole ratio between them as shown below:

[tex]m_{CS_2}^{theoretical}=42.3 gC*\frac{1molC}{12gC}*\frac{1molCS_2}{5molC}*\frac{76gCS_2}{1molCS_2} \\\\m_{CS_2}^{theoretical}=54.8g[/tex]

Thus, the percent yield, which is computed by dividing the actual yield over the theoretical one, we obtain:

[tex]Y=\frac{44.7g}{54.8g} *100\%\\\\Y=81.5\%[/tex]

Best regards.

Taking into account definition of percent yield, the percent yield for the reaction is 83.43%.

Reaction stoichiometry

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

5 C + 2 SO₂ → CS₂ + 4 CO

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • C: 5 moles
  • SO₂: 2 moles
  • CS₂: 1 mole
  • CO: 4 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

  • C: 12 g/mole
  • SO₂: 64 g/mole
  • CS₂: 76 g/mole
  • CO: 28 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • C: 5 moles ×12 g/mole= 60 grams
  • SO₂: 2 moles ×64 g/mole= 128 grams
  • CS₂: 1 mole ×76 g/mole= 76 grams
  • CO: 4 moles ×28 g/mole= 112 grams

Mass of CS₂ formed

The following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 60 grams of C form 76 grams of CS₂, 42.3 grams of C form how much mass of CS₂?

[tex]mass of CS_{2} =\frac{42.3 grams of Cx76 grams of CS_{2} }{60 grams of C}[/tex]

mass of CS₂= 53.58 grams

Then, 53.58 grams of CS₂ can be produced from 42.3 grams of C.

Percent yield

The percent yield is the ratio of the actual return to the theoretical return expressed as a percentage.

The percent yield is calculated as the experimental yield divided by the theoretical yield multiplied by 100%:

[tex]percent yield=\frac{actual yield}{theorical yield}x100[/tex]

where the theoretical yield is the amount of product acquired through the complete conversion of all reagents in the final product, that is, it is the maximum amount of product that could be formed from the given amounts of reagents.

Percent yield for the reaction in this case

In this case, you know:

  • actual yield= 44.7 grams
  • theorical yield= 53.58 grams

Replacing in the definition of percent yields:

[tex]percent yield=\frac{44.7 grams}{53.58 grams}x100[/tex]

Solving:

percent yield= 83.43%

Finally, the percent yield for the reaction is 83.43%.
