4. What is the percent yield of a reaction that produces 12.5 g CF2Cl2 from 32.9 g of CCl4 and excess HF

Answer:

Percent yield = 48.3%

Explanation:

The reaction is:

CCl₄  +  2HF → CF₂Cl₂ + 2HCl

1 mol of CCl₄ reacts with 2 moles of hydrofluoric acid in order to produce 1 mol of CF₂Cl₂ and 2 moles of hydrogen chloride.

HF is in excess, so the limiting reagent is the CCl₄.

We convert mass to moles:

32.9 g . 1mol / 153.8g = 0.214 moles

Ratio is 1:1. In conclussion: 0.0813 moles of CCl₄ can produce 0.0813 moles of CF₂Cl₂. We convert moles to mass, to determine the theoretical yield:

0.214 mol . 120.91g /mol = 25.8 g

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

Percent yield = (12.5 g/ 25.8g) . 100 = 48.3%
