Dichlorine monoxide, Cl2O is sometimes used as a powerful chlorinating agent in research. It can be produced by passing chlorine

gas over heated mercury (II) oxide according to the following equation: HgO + Cl2 ????HgCl2 + Cl2O What is the percent yield, if the quantity of the reactants is sufficient to produce 0.86g of Cl2O but only 0.71 g is obtained?

Answer:

% yield =  82.5%

Explanation:

HgO + 2Cl₂ →  HgCl₂ +  Cl₂O

Our reactants are:

  • HgO and Cl₂

Our products are:

  • HgCl₂ +  Cl₂O

We do not have information about moles of reactants, but we do know the theoretical yield and the grams of product, in this case Cl₂O, we have produced.

Percent yield = (Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100

Theoretical yield is the mass of product which is produced by sufficent reactant. We replace data:

% yield = (0.71 g/0.86g) . 100 = 82.5%
