Question

60.00 grams of hydrochloric acid react with sodium hydroxide.
- write the balanced reaction with the correct products
NaOH + HCL -> H2O + NaCL
- what is the reaction type?
Double replacement
- what is the theoretical yield of sodium chloride (in grams)? using dimensional analysis
60 divided by 36.46 = 1.65
58.44 = molar mass of NaCL
1.65 x 58.44 = 96.42

- what is the percent yield of 84.05 grams of sodium chloride are actually produced?

I can't figure out the dimensional analysis part and the percent yield of 84.05 part

Answer 1

you already have the theoretical yield, you just need to divide (actual yield)/(theoretical yield) and multiply by 100%

Answer 2

to get percent yield

Answer 3

for dimensional analysis, you've already done the math you just need to set it up in a table

Answer 4

I'm confused about finding the Actual Yield. To find it I need to do the Theoretical Yield x Percent Yield, right? But I don't have a percentage to use to find it.

Answer 5

"84.05 grams of sodium chloride are actually produced" ---> 84.05 g is your actual yield

Answer 6

Oh. Sorry about that. I thought that was meant for the dimensional analysis part. Thank you.

Answer 7

Ok sorry last thing. I just need to make the table and do 60 x 1 x 1 x 58.44 for the top and 36.46 divided by 1 divided by, right?

Answer 8

yeah that should do it

Answer 9

Alright, thank you.
