Question

The expected value for a chemical equation is 47g of water, after an experiment you find that you have 2.58 moles of water. What is the actual yield of your chemical reaction? *

Answer 1

Answer;

Actual yield = 46.44 g

Explanation;

1 mole of water = 18 g/mol

Therefore;

The experimental yield = 2.58 moles

equivalent to ; 2.58 × 18 = 46.44 g

The theoretical value is 47 g

Percentage yield = 46.44/47 × 100%

= 98.8%

The questions asks for actual yield = 46.44 g
