CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 mc023-1.jpg Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl What is the percent yield of NaCl if 31.0 g of CuCl2 reacts with excess NaNO3 to produce 21.2 g of NaCl?

Answer 1

The stoichiometric ratio of CuCl2 to NaCl is 1 is to 2. The stoichiometric ratio of 31.0 g CuCl2 is 26.95 grams of NaCl by converting the amount of CuCl2 to mole and multiplying by 0.5 and molar mass of NaCl.This amount is equal to 78.65% yield.
