Question

Determine the percent yield for the following generic reaction using the information given below: Compound A --> Compound B if you start with 10.0 mL of Compound A and obtain 9.0 g of Compound B. Density of Compound A = 0.75 g/mL MW of Compound A = 150. g/mol MW Compound B = 300. g/mol [x1] % yield

DrBob222 · Answer

1 mol A ==> 1 mol B
grams A = determined from density.
mass = volume x density = 10 mL x 0.75 g/mL = 7.5 g.
mols A = grams/molar mass = ?
Since the reaction is 1 mol A to 1 mol B, then mols B = mols A
Grams B = mols B x molar mass B = ?g theoretical yield (TY). The actual yield (AY) is 9.00 g.
%yield = (AY/TY)*100 = ?
