Answer:
%age Yield = 85.36 %
Solution:
The Balance Chemical Reaction is as follow,
C₆H₁₂O + Acid Catalyst → C₆H₁₀ + Acid Catalyst + H₂O
According to Equation ,
100 g (1 mole) C₆H₁₂O produces = 82 g (1 moles) of C₆H₁₀
So,
4.0 g of C₆H₁₂O will produce = X g of C₆H₁₀
Solving for X,
X = (4.0 g × 82 g) ÷ 100 g
X = 3.28 g of C₆H₁₀ (Theoretical Yield)
As we know,
%age Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100
%age Yield = (2.8 g ÷ 3.28 g) × 100
%age Yield = 85.36 %
