If a student starts with 615g of Co(NO3)2 and obtains a 57.3% yield of CoS, what mass of CoS is isolated?

Question

Co(NO3)2 + K2S ---> CoS + 2KNO

Answer 1

Here is a worked example of a stoichiometry problem. Just follow the steps. At the end, the grams you obtain will be the theoretical yield. Then
%yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield)*100, substitute and solve for actual yield.
