Explanation:

it's actually 16.9%.

The percent yield of lithium chloride if a reaction starts with 20.0 g lithium hydroxide and yields 6.00 g lithium chloride is 16.9%

Percentage yield:

  • percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100%

Therefore, let's find theoretical yield.

  • LiOH + KCl → LiCl + KOH

Therefore,

LiOH = 23.95 gram per mol

LiCl = 42.394 grams per mol

Therefore,

23.95 g of  LiOH  gives 42.394 g of LiCl

20 g of LiOH gives ?

cross multiply

theoretical mass of LiCl = 20 × 42.394 / 23.95 = 35.4020876827 grams

Therefore,

percent yield = 6 / 35.4 × 100 = 600/ 35.4 %

percent yield of  LiCl = 16.9491525424 %

percent yield of  LiCl = 16.9 %
