Question

A reaction starts with 20.0 grams of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) and produces 31.0 grams of lithium chloride (LiCl), what is the percent yield of lithium chloride (LiCl)? *

LiOH + KCl - LiCl + KOH

A) 64.5%
B) 88.6%
C) 81.5%
D) 92.8%

Answer 1

B) 88.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent yield equals actual yield divided by theoretical yield

actual yield is 31.0g

theoretical yield is 35g

percent yield was 88.57 which rounds up to 88.6%
