3.40 mole is theoritical yield What is the percent yield if the actual yield from this reaction is 405g ?
You need to convert grams to moles, then divide theoretical yield by the actual yield, multiplying by 100 to get a percent.
yes how do i do that
how do i do this
canyou please show me
450 grams of what?
Consider a situation in which 235g of P4 are exposed to 272g of O2. n Part A, you found the amount of product (3.80mol P2O5 ) formed from the given amount of phosphorus and excess oxygen. In Part B, you found the amount of product (3.40mol P2O5 ) formed from the given amount of oxygen and excess phosphorus. Now, determine how many moles of P2O5 are produced from the given amounts of phosphorus and oxygen.
that was part of the question
Okay.. what was the 450 grams of, though? What is the chemical formula.
is it P2O5?
What is the percent yield if the actual yield from this reaction is 405g ?
it says if so i think it is for p205
Percent yield of WHAT. The way to find the number of moles is to divide grams by the molar mass, so I need to know what the 450g is so I can find the molar mass.
P4+5O2→2P2O5 reaction
if it's p2o5, then multiply p by two and o by 5, add the two. Then divide 450 g by the molar mass.
this is part a What is the maximum amount in moles of P2O5 that can theoretically be made from 235g of P4 and excess oxygen? that i got 3.80 as answer
Part B What is the maximum amount in moles of P2O5 that can theoretically be made from 272g of O2 and excess phosphorus? answer is 3.40
pART C In Part A, you found the amount of product (3.80mol P2O5 ) formed from the given amount of phosphorus and excess oxygen. In Part B, you found the amount of product (3.40mol P2O5 ) formed from the given amount of oxygen and excess phosphorus. Now, determine how many moles of P2O5 are produced from the given amounts of phosphorus and oxygen. ANWER IS 3.40
part d What is the percent yield if the actual yield from this reaction is 405g ?
it say if the actual yield is 405 g
Then follow my directions. Take P2O5, find its molar mass, and divide the 450 grams by the MM. Divide theoretical yield by actual yield, multiply by 100, and that's your percent.
moar mass of p205 is 141.944522
right
yes, use 141.94
so 405 divide by 141.94 is 2.8533
yes.
Now divide & multiply by 100 for the percentage.
is is .70 answer
2.8533/450 *100
is .70
right
no. sorry, had it backwards. actual yield over theoretical, then x100. You're going to use the moles, not moles and grams. it's one or the other.
so 2.85/3.40 x 100
83.8
yes
thanks
