Reaction: 2K₍s₎ + 2H₂O₍l₎ → 2KOH₍aq₎ + H₂₍g₎.
K - potassium.
H₂O - water.
KOH - potassium-hydroxide.
H₂ - hydrogen.
s - solid phase.
l - liquid.
aq - disolves in water.
g - gas.
Reaction is exothermal (release of energy) and potassium burns a purple flame. H<span>ydrogen released during the reaction reacts with </span>oxygen<span> and ignites.</span><span>

The theoretical yield of ammonia in an industrial synthesis was 550 kg, but only 480 kg was obtained. What was the percentage yi

Klio2033 [76]

We know that when calculating percent yield, we use the equation:

$Percent yield=\frac{Actual yield (A)}{Theoretical yield (T)}$

Since the quantities that we are given in the question are equal, we can just directly divide them to find percent yield:

$Percentyield=\frac{480kg}{550kg} =0.8727*100=87.27$

So now we know that the percent yield of the synthesis is 87.27%.
