Answer:
%age Yield = 34.21 %
Explanation:
The balance chemical equation for the decomposition of KClO₃ is as follow;
3 KOH + H₃PO₄ → K₃PO₄ + 3 H₂O
Step 1: Calculate moles of H₃PO₄ as;
Moles = Mass / M/Mass
Moles = 334.6 g / 97.99 g/mol
Moles = 3.414 moles
Step 2: Find moles of K₃PO₄ as;
According to equation,
1 moles of H₃PO₄ produces = 1 moles of K₃PO₄
So,
3.414 moles of H₃PO₄ will produce = X moles of K₃PO₄
Solving for X,
X = 1 mol × 3.414 mol / 1 mol
X = 3.414 mol of K₃PO₄
Step 3: Calculate Theoretical yield of K₃PO₄ as,
Mass = Moles × M.Mass
Mass = 3.414 mol × 212.26 g/mol
Mass = 724.79 g of K₃PO₄
Also,
%age Yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100
%age Yield = 248 g / 724.79 × 100
%age Yield = 34.21 %
