We are given with
4.35 g Phosphoric acid
5.25 g KOH
3.15 g K3PO4 produced

The reaction is
H3PO4 + 3KOH => K3PO4 + 3H2O

First, convert masses into moles.
Then, determine the limiting reactant.
Next, determine the maximum amount of K3PO4 that can be produced from the limiting reactant.
Lastly, calculate the percent yield by dividing the actual amount produced by the theoretical amount produced.

When 5.00 g of Al2S3 and 2.50 g of H2O are reacted according to the following reaction: Al2S3(s) + 6 H2O(l) → 2 Al(OH)3(s) + 3 H
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Y=58.15\%

Explanation:

Hello,

For the given chemical reaction:

Al_2S_3(s) + 6 H_2O(l) \rightarrow 2 Al(OH)_3(s) + 3 H_2S(g)

We first must identify the limiting reactant by computing the reacting moles of Al2S3:

n_{Al_2S_3}=5.00gAl_2S_3*\frac{1molAl_2S_3}{150.158 gAl_2S_3} =0.0333molAl_2S_3

Next, we compute the moles of Al2S3 that are consumed by 2.50 of H2O via the 1:6 mole ratio between them:

n_{Al_2S_3}^{consumed}=2.50gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O}*\frac{1molAl_2S_3}{6molH_2O}=0.0231mol  Al_2S_3

Thus, we notice that there are more available Al2S3 than consumed, for that reason it is in excess and water is the limiting, therefore, we can compute the theoretical yield of Al(OH)3 via the 2:1 molar ratio between it and Al2S3 with the limiting amount:

m_{Al(OH)_3}=0.0231molAl_2S_3*\frac{2molAl(OH)_3}{1molAl_2S_3}*\frac{78gAl(OH)_3}{1molAl(OH)_3} =3.61gAl(OH)_3

Finally, we compute the percent yield with the obtained 2.10 g:

Y=\frac{2.10g}{3.61g} *100\%\\\\Y=58.15\%

Best regards.
