Question

Suppose you heat 4.24 g of S8 with 5.00 of Cl2, what would be the theoretical yield of S2Cl2? If the actual yield of S2Cl2 is 6.55g, what is the percent yield

S8 (l) + 4Cl2 (g) ------> 4S2Cl2 (l)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1: Theoretical yield

5.00 + 4.24 = 9.24 grams

Part 2: Percent yield

Percent yield = (actual yield)/(theoretical yield) * 100 = (6.55)/(9.24) * 100 = 70.9%
