Percent yield or yield is mathematically defined as:

Yield = Actual amount / Theoretical amount

So to solve the yield, let us first calculate the theoretical amount of POCl3 produced. The balanced chemical reaction for this is:

6 PCl5 + P4O10  --->  10 POCl3

Since P4O10 is stated to be supplied in large amount, then PCl5 becomes the limiting reactant.

So we calculate for POCl3 based on PCl5. To do this let us convert the amount into moles: (molar mass PCl5 = 208.24 g/mol)

n PCl5 = 42.66 grams / (208.24 g/mol)

n PCl5 = 0.205 mol

 

Now based on the stoichiometric ratio of the reaction:

<span>n POCl3 = 0.205 mol (10 POCl3 / 6 PCl5)
n POCl3 = 0.3414 mol POCl3</span>

Converting to mass (molar mass POCl3 = 153.33 g/mol)

m POCl3 = 0.3414 mol (153.33 g/mol)

m POCl3 = 52.35 g

 

Calculating for yield:

Yield = 47.22 g/ 52.35 g

Yield = 0.902

<span>%Yield = 90.2 %                      (ANSWER)</span>

Select the property that is not a characteristic of an ideal recrystallization solvent.
dybincka [34]

Answer:

(C) The recrystallization solvent should be nonvolatile.

Explanation:

Recrystallization is the separation technique which is used to purify the solid compounds in their crystal or amorphous form.

Some properties follow the recrystallization process as:

The solids are more soluble in hot solvent as compared to the solubility in the cold solvent.

The solvent must have lower boiling point and can be volatile easily.

The solvent should not react with the compound.

The impurities must be soluble in the cool solvent, so that only the pure product crystallizes.

Hence, Answer - C which is not an ideal characteristic.
