Actual yield : 45.752 g ⇒no option
Given
The theoretical yields of Clâ‚‚ : 65.35 g and 68.08 g
Required
The actual yield
Solution
Reaction
4 HCl (aq) + MnO₂ (s) → MnCl₂ (aq) + Cl₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l)
Because there are two theoretical yields, then we can choose the smallest one because the value is usually determined from the limiting reactant (in this reaction the limiting reactant is MnOâ‚‚)
So 65.36 g is The theoretical yields of Clâ‚‚
Then the actual yield :
[tex]\tt \%yield=\dfrac{actual}{theoretical}\times 100\%\\\\actual=\%yield\times theoretical\\\\actual=70\%\times 65.36=45.752[/tex]
