During an experiment, the percent yield of calcium chloride from a reaction was 82.38%. theoretically, the expected amount should have been 105 grams. what was the actual yield from this reaction? caco3 hcl → cacl2 co2 h2o 105.3 grams 101.1 grams 95.6 grams 86.5 grams

Sagot :

The actual  theoretically yield from this reaction is 86.5 grams.

What is theoretically yield?

  • Theoretical yield is the quantity of a product obtained from the complete conversion of the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction.
  • It is the amount of product resulting from a perfect (theoretical) chemical reaction, and thus not the same as the amount you'll actually get from a reaction in the lab.

The percentage yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) * 100.

To calculate the theoretical yield from the balanced reaction:

             CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O,

It is clear that 1 mole of CaCO₃ reacts with 2 mole of HCl to produce 1 mole of CaCl₂, 1 mole of CO₂, and 1 mole H₂O.

to calculate the no. of moles of 95.0 g CaCO₃

n = mass/molar mass = (95.0 g)/(100.0869 g/mole) = 0.95 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

1 mole of CaCO₃ produce  → 1 mole of CaCl₂, from stichiometry.

∴ 0.95 mole of CaCO₃ produce → 0.95 mole of CaCl₂.

∴ The mass of CaCl₂ (theoretical yield) = (no. of moles) * (molar mass)                         ⇒(0.95 mole)*(110.98  g/mole) = 105.34 g.

The percentage yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield)*100.

The percentage yield = 82.15%, theoretical yield = 105.34 g.

The actual yield of CaCl₂ = (The percentage yield)(theoretical yield)/100

                                 = (82.15%)(105.34 g)/100 = 86.53 g ≅ 86.5 g.

So, the actual  theoretically yield from this reaction is 86.5 grams.
