When 15 grams of copper (II) chloride (CuCl2) reacts with 20 grams of sodium nitrate (NaNO3), 11.3 grams of sodium chloride (NaCl) is obtained. What is the percent yield of this reaction? CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl
The percent yield of the NaCl is 32.2% since the total CuCl2 is 15 grams and the NaNO3 is 20 grams then 11.3/35 grams yields 32.2 % of NaCl. It is not known how much Cu(NO3)2 will form from this reaction since this figure is not given.
