Question

During an experiment, the percent yield of calcium chloride from a reaction was 85.22%. Theoretically, the expected amount should have been 113 grams. What was the actual yield from this reaction?

CaCO₃​+HCl→CaCl₂+CO₂​+H₂​O

A. 96.3 grams
B. 99.0 grams
C. 113 grams
D. 121 grams

Answer 1

The actual yield from the reaction is 96.3 grams. Therefore correct option is A

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the actual yield from the reaction, we need to multiply the percent yield by the expected amount. In this case, the expected amount is 113 grams and the percent yield is 85.22%. So, the actual yield is:

Actual Yield = Percent Yield x Expected Amount

Actual Yield = 0.8522 x 113 grams

Actual Yield = 96.3 grams

Therefore, the actual yield from the reaction is 96.3 grams.
