Transcript of Theoretical Yield The amount of product(s) calculated using stoichiometry problems.
The reaction started with 384 grams of S6 (s). Assume an unlimited supply of oxygen. What is the theoretical (predicted) yield and the percent yield if only 680 grams of sulfur dioxide are produced?
Find moles of S6
384 g S6 ( 1 moles S6/ 192 g S6) = 2 moles S6
Find moles of SO2
2 moles S6 (6 moles SO2 /1 mole S6) = 12 moles SO2
Find theoretical grams SO2
12 moles SO2 (64 g SO2/1mole) = 768 g SO2
Find Percent Yield
(680 g / 768g) x100 = 89%
Zinc reacts with copper sulfate in a single replacement reaction as follows
Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)
• 50.00 grams of zinc metal were added to excess copper sulfate dissolved in a water solution. 42.50 grams of copper were recovered. Calculate the theoretical yield of copper in this experiment
Step 1: Find the theoretical mass of Cu
• Mass of Cu = – 50.00g Zn(mol/65.38gZn) = 0.7648 mol Zn– 0.7648 mol Zn (1 molCu/1 mol Zn) = 0.7648 mol
Cu– 0.7648 mol Cu (63.55g Cu/mol) = 48.60 g Cu
Silver can produced by reacting silver nitrate with magnesium in the following
reactionMg(s) + 2 AgNO3 (aq) Mg(NO3)2
(aq) + 2 Ag (s)
• How much Silver can be recovered by reacting a silver nitrate solution with 50.00 grams of powdered magnesium.
• 50.00g Mg(mol/24.31 g Mg) = 2.057 mol Mg• 2.057 mol Mg ( 2mol Ag/ 1 mol Mg) = 4.114
mol Ag• 4.114 mol Ag (107.9 g/mol) =443.8 g Ag
Assume that 95% of the silver can be recovered.
• 443.8 g theoretically produced.• 443.8 g (0.95) = 421.58 g Ag actually produced
