Question

Use the equation below to answer the following question

2NaHCO3(aq) + Ca(H2PO4)2 (aq) → Na2HPO4 (aq) + CaHPO4 (aq) + 2002 (8) + 2H20 (0)
The theoretical yield of CHPO, is 10 g. If 8 g of CaHPO4 are produced from the reaction shown above, what is the percent yield of CHPO ?

Answer 1

Percent Yield = 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent yield of a reaction is defined as one hundred times the ratio between the actual yield and the theoretical yield. That is:

Percent yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield * 100

Where theoretical yield of CaHPO4 is 10g and actual yield is 8g

Replacing:

Percent yield = 8g / 10g * 100

Percent Yield = 80%
