Answer:
94.61 %
Explanation:
percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) X 100%
The balanced equation for the reaction is:
H2 (g ) + Cl2(g) => 2 HCl (l)
So, the theoretical yield =
7.25g of chlorine X (2mol of Cl / 35.453 g of Cl) X (2mol Cl / 2mol of HCl) X 37.469g of Hcl / 2mol of Hcl = 0.409 x 18.735 = 7.663g of Hcl
Using this theoretical yield and the provided value for actual yield, the percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) X 100%
= (7.25 g / 7.663g) X 100
= 94.61 %
