What would cause the percent yield of a reaction to be less than 100%?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Roman55 [17]3 years ago
3 0

<u>Answer:</u>

All of the limiting reagent gets used up causes the percent yield of a reaction to be less than 100%

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is rare for a chemical reaction to occur with the right proportion of reactants that reacts together to form resultant products.During this process, one of the reactants gets used up faster resulting in the lower percent yield. Such product that gets used up faster is called limiting reagent. This limiting reagent is responsible for lowering the percentage yield in the chemical reaction.

The limiting reactant can be found easily by calculating the yield of each reactant assuming they are consumed completely. The reactant which has least yield is the limiting reactant of the reaction.

Determine how many millilitres of a 4.25 M HCl solution are needed to react completely with 8.75 g CaCO3?
Helen [10]

Answer:

41 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Milliliter of HCl required = ?

Molarity of HCl solution = 4.25 M

Mass of CaCO₃ = 8.75 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2HCl + CaCO₃      →    CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

Number of moles of CaCO₃:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 8.75 g / 100.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.087 g /mol

Now we will compare the moles of  CaCO₃ with HCl.

                      CaCO₃         :          HCl

                          1               :            2

                      0.087           :         2/1×0.087 = 0.174 mol

Volume of HCl:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in L

4.25 M = 0.174 mol / volume in L

Volume in L = 0.174 mol /4.25 M

Volume in L = 0.041 L

Volume in mL:

0.041 L×1000 mL/ 1L

41 mL
