Answer:

Theoretical yield of C6H10 = 3.2 g.

Explanation:

Defining Theoretical yield as the quantity of product obtained from the complete conversion of the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction. It can be expressed as grams or moles.

Equation of the reaction

C6H11OH --> C6H10 + H2O

Moles of C6H11OH:

Molar mass of C6H110H = (12*6) + (1*12) + 16

= 100 g/mol

Mass of C6H10 = 3.8 g

number of moles = mass/molar mass

=3.8/100

= 0.038 mol.

Using stoichoimetry, 1 moles of C6H110H was dehydrated to form 1 mole of C6H10 and 1 mole of water.

Therefore, 0.038 moles of C6H10 was produced.

Mass of C6H10 = molar mass * number of moles

Molar mass of C6H10 = (12*6) + (1*10)

= 82 g/mol.

Mass = 82 * 0.038

= 3.116 g of C6H10.

Theoretical yield of C6H10 = 3.2 g

Consider the reaction between acetylene, c2h2, and oxygen in a welding torch: 2c2h2(g) + 5o2(g) → 4co2(g) + 2h2o(g) if 5.4 moles
fredd [130]
<span>                                      2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
   from the reaction     2 mol                              4 mol
from the problem      5.4 mol                         10.8 mol

M(CO2) = 12.0 +2*16.0 = 44.0 g/mol
10.8 mol CO2 * 44.0 g CO2/1 mol CO2 = 475.2 g CO2 </span>≈480 = 4.8 * 10² g
Answer is  C. 4.8*10² g.

What is the percent yield of LiCl if I produced 30.85g LiCl and my theoretical yield was calculated to be 35.40g LiCl?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

87.15%

Explanation:

To find percent yield, we can use this simple equation

\frac{Actual}{Theoretical} *100

Where "Actual" is the amount in grams actually collected from the reaction, and "Theoretical" is, well, the theoretical amount that should have been produced.

They give us these values, so to find the percent yield, just plug the numbers in.

\frac{30.85}{35.40} *100\\\\ =87.15

So, the percent yield is 87.15%

An easy trick to remember how to do this is just to divide the smaller number by the bigger number and move the decimal back two places. If you have a percent yield greater than 100%, something is wrong in the reaction.
