Question

In the reaction: H2SO4 + NaOH ==> Na2SO4 + H2O
29.33 g of NaOH is reacted with excess sulfuric acid to produce 9.041 g of water. What is the percent yield of the reaction? (Do not include units in the answer.)

Answer 1

First balance the equation,

Answer 2

Then calculate the theoretical yield of water based on stoichiometry.

Answer 3

The 9.041g is the actual yield.

Answer 4

Percent yield is actual yield divided by theoretical yield * 100%

Answer 5

Alright! Thank you! :)

Answer 6

No problem. :)
