The answer is a ..........
The yield of lithium chloride is 1.92 grams.
Option D.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
In this reaction, we can see that 1 mole of lithium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of potassium chloride to produce 1 mole of lithium chloride and 1 mole of potassium hydroxide.
Molecular weight of lithium hydroxide is 24.
Molecular weight of lithium chloride is 42.5.
So 24 grams of lithium hydroxide produces 42.5 grams of lithium chloride.
So, 20 grams of lithium hydroxide produces grams =11. 29 grams of lithium chloride.
But this is when the yield is 100%.
But yield is 17%.
So the yield is 1.92 grams of lithium chloride.
I would say the correct answer would probably be that to explain the approx 100 years between Dalton (early 1800's) atomic theory and JJ Thomson's discovery of the smaller particle the electron was that Thomson had the use of a cathode ray tube that helped to determine the existence of negatively charged particles about 2000 times lighter than a hydrogen atom and therefore a smaller particle than the atom. The cathode ray tube was not invented until 1897, when Thomson began experimenting with it.
I believe the answer is C
