Answer:
Percent yield of reaction is 75%.
Explanation:
Given data:
Moles of A = 2.0 mol
Moles of B = 4.0 mol
Moles of C formed = 1.8 mol
Percent yield of reaction = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2A + 5B → 3C + D
We will compare the moles of A and B with C from balance chemical equation.
A : C
2 : 3
B : C
5 : 3
4 : 3/5×4 = 2.4 mol
Number of moles of C formed by 4 moles B are less thus B is limiting reactant and will limit the yield of C.
Percent yield:
Percent yield = actual yield /theoretical yield × 100
Percent yield = 1.8 mol / 2.4 × 100
Percent yield =75%
