when reacting with Na with Cl2, we calculated that the theoretical yield should be 13.0 grams. our actual yield was 12.5 grams. what is the percent yield?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Percentage yield is 96.15%

Explanation:

Theoretical yield = 13.0g

Actual yield = 12.5g

Percentage yield = ?

Equation of reaction

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100

Percentage yield = (12.5 / 13.0) * 100

Percentage yield = 0.9615 * 100

Percentage yield = 96.15%

Percentage yield of NaCl is 96.15%
