Answer:
63.53% yield
Explanation:
The balanced equation for this reaction is 2NaCl + H2O -> 2NaOH +Cl2
First we must find the limiting reactant
From NaCl we can only produce 6.06 grams of Cl2 in <u>theory</u>
From H20 we can only produce 38.995 grams in theory
so we know NaCl is the limiting
% yield is (Actual/Theoretical) x100 so
(3.85/6.06)x100= 63.53% yield
Acids are corrosive, which means they 'eat away' at other materials.
