%yield = 54.6%
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated
(theoretical)
General formula:
Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%
<h3 />Reaction
2ZnS+3O₂ ⇒ 2ZnO+2SO₂
MW ZnS = 97.474 g/mol
- mol ZnS
MW ZnO = 81.38 g/mol
- mol ZnO (from mol ZnS as limiting reactant, O₂ excess)
- Actual ZnO produced
Theoretical production = 125.388
