Question

If 20.0 g LIOH react with excess KCl, giving a 17.0

Answer 1

The yield of lithium chloride is 1.92 grams.

Option D.

Explanation:

In this reaction, we can see that 1 mole of lithium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of potassium chloride to produce 1 mole of lithium chloride and 1 mole of potassium hydroxide.

Molecular weight of lithium hydroxide is 24.

Molecular weight of lithium chloride is 42.5.

So 24 grams of lithium hydroxide produces 42.5 grams of lithium chloride.

So, 20 grams of lithium hydroxide produces $20 * 24 / 42.5$  grams =11. 29 grams of lithium chloride.

But this is when the yield is 100%.

But yield is 17%.

So the yield is 1.92 grams of lithium chloride.
