This is another limiting reagent problem but this time you have THREE reactants. You will need to compare two of the reagent to find which is limiting, then compare that one with the third. The value you obtain at the end for grams is the theoretical yield.
%yld = (actual yield/theor yield)*100 =
Whats the percent yield in the reaction:
P+5C2H5OH+ 5/2 I2 -> 5C2H5I + H3PO4 + H2O
if you have 4.14g phosporous, 27.5g ethanol, 63.5g iodine, and you get 73g ethyliodine (C2H5I)

DrBob222 can you please explain more specifically.I don't know if iodine or phosporus is the limiting reagent so i can compare it with C2H5I. Can you tell me only the process how to compare the 3 reagents to find the limiting reagent please.
