When reacting Na with Cl2 , we calculated that the theoretical yield should be 12.5 grams. Our actual yield was 13.0 grams. What is the percent yield?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 104 \%}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Percent ratio is the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield. The formula is below.

[tex]Percent \ Yield} = \frac{{Actual \ Yield}}{{Theoretical \ Yield}} \times 100 \%[/tex]

The reaction of sodium and chlorine should theoretically yield 12.5 grams, but the actual yield was 13.0 grams.

  • actual yield= 13.0 g
  • theoretical yield = 12.5 g

Substitute these values into the formula.

[tex]Percent \ Yield} = \frac{{13.0 \ g }}{{12.5 \ g}} \times 100 \%[/tex]

Divide.

[tex]Percent \ Yield} = 1.04 \times 100 \%[/tex]

Multiply.

[tex]Percent \ Yield= 104 \%[/tex]

For this reaction, the percent yield is 104%
