During an experiment, the percent yield of calcium chloride from a reaction was 80.34%. Theoretically, the expected amount should have been 115 grams. What was the actual yield from this reaction?

CaCO3 + HCl → CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O

90.1 grams
92.4 grams
109.2 grams
115.3 grams

HELP!

Vocaloid · Answer

the percent yield is the % they actually got, out of the theoretical yield

so a 80.34% yield means they got 80.34% of the theoretical yield

their theoretical yield was 115 grams

so their actual yield is simply 80.34% of 115g. calculate that and you should have your solution.

So round the 3 up to 4 then we have 92.4 grams?
