Question

g Calculate the theoretical yield (in grams) of your product if you start with 0.50 grams of E-stilbene. The molecular weight of E-stilbene is 180.25 g/mol, and the molecular weight of the product is 340.058 g/mol. 0.5109 grams 0.9433 g 0.2342 g 0.6312 g

Answer 1

0.9433g

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical yield is defined as the mass produced assuming all reactant reacts producing the product.

Assuming the reaction is 1:1, we need to find the moles of E-stilbene (Reactant). If all reactant reacts, the moles of E-stilbene = Moles of product.

Using the molar mass of the product we can find the theoretical yield as follows:

Moles E-stilbene:

0.50g * (1mol/180.25g) = 0.00277 moles = Moles Product

Mass Product = Theoretical yield:

0.00277 moles * (340.058g/mol) = 0.9433g
