Question

If the actual yield of sodium chloride from the reaction of
8.3 g of sodium and 4.5 g of chlorine is 6.4 g, what is the percent yield?

Answer 1

Answer:

86%

Explanation:

Calculate the theoretical yield from the mass of each reactant. The lesser amount is the theoretical yield. Then use the following formula to calculate the percent yield: % yield = actual yield/theoretical yield X 100.
