Answer:
A. Theoretical yield = 3.51g
B. %yield = 75%
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:
C2H4 + 3O2 —> 2CO2 + 2H2O
Molar Mass of O2 = 16 x 2 = 32g/mol
Mass of O2 from the balanced equation = 3 x 32 = 96
Molar Mass of H20 = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol
Mass of H2O from the balanced equation = 2 x 18 = 36g
A. From the equation,
96g of O2 produced 36g of H2O
Therefore, 9.35g of O2 will produce = (9.35 x 36)/96 = 3.51g of H2O
Therefore,theoretical yield of water (H2O) = 3.51g
B. Theoretical yield = 3.51
Actual yield = 2.63g
%yield =?
%yield = Actual yield/Theoretical yield x 100
%yield = 2.63/3.51
%yield = 75%
