Answer:
Percent yield of silver obtained = 78.18% (Approx.)
Explanation:
Given:
Amount of copper = 50 gram
Amount of silver nitrate = 300 gram
Amount of silver = 149 gram
Find:
Percent yield of silver obtained
Computation:
Percentage of Silver in silver nitrate = 108[100/(108+14+48)]
Percentage of Silver in silver nitrate = 108/[100/170]
Percentage of Silver in silver nitrate = 63.53% (Approx.)
Amount of Silver produced = [63.53%][300]
Amount of Silver produced = 190.59 gram
Percent yield of silver obtained = [Amount of silver / Amount of silver produced]100
Percent yield of silver obtained = [149/190.59]100
Percent yield of silver obtained = 78.18% (Approx.)
