This is a limiting reagent (LR) problem. Using the procedure outlined by Bob P below, find how much PCl5 should be produced. Tha't the theoretical yield (TY). The actual yield (AY) is 5.5 g.
%yield = (AY/TY)*100 = ?
If 10g of phosphine is made to react with 15g of chlorine gas, calculate the percentage yield if 5.5g of phosphorus pentachloride was experimentally produced
