Answer:
70.6 %
Explanation:
First step, we define the reaction:
2P + 3Br₂ → 2PBr₃
We determine the moles of reactant:
35 g . 1mol / 159.8 g = 0.219 moles
We assume, the P is in excess, so the bromine is the limiting reagent.
3 moles of Br₂ can produce 2 moles of phophorous tribromide
Then, 0.219 moles may produce (0.219 . 2) /3 = 0.146 moles of PBr₃
We convert moles to mass:
0.146 mol . 270.67 g /mol = 39.5 g
That's the 100 % yield reaction, also called theoretical yield. The way to determine the % yield is:
(Yield produced / Thoeretical yield) . 100
(27.9 / 39.5) . 100 = 70.6 %
Compounds are made of two or more atoms of different elements, such as water (H2O) and methane (CH4). Atoms are not drawn to scale. Molecules of compounds have atoms of two or more different elements.
