Nitrogen gas is reacted to hydrogen gas to form nitrogen trihydride. Percent yield of 650.4 g nitrogen trihydride

1 answer

To find the percent yield, we need to compare the actual yield of the reaction to the theoretical yield.

Given that the actual yield is 650.4 g of nitrogen trihydride, we can say that the actual yield is equal to the percent yield (in decimal form) multiplied by the theoretical yield.

Let's assume the theoretical yield is x grams of nitrogen trihydride.

Therefore, the equation becomes:

650.4 g = (percent yield/100) * x

To find the percent yield, we need to rearrange the equation and solve for it:

percent yield = (650.4 g / x) * 100

Without knowing the theoretical yield (x), we cannot determine the percent yield.
