Question

What is the percent/% yield if 4 moles of hydrogen is reacted with 3 moles
of oxygen and produces 3 moles of water?
H₂ + 1/2 O2 -> H2O
a. 25%
b. 75%

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B,  $75$ %

Explanation:

The percentage yield can be defined as the recovery of fraction of reactant as product in any reaction.

Here in this question -

Number of moles of hydrogen reacting $= 4$

Number of moles of hydrogen recovered as final product $= 3$

Hence the percentage yield would be

$\frac{3}{4} * 100\\= 75$

Yield is $75$ %

Hence, option B is correct
