Is my work correct?

Question: What is the percent yeild of the nicke(II) coordination?

  • [Ni(H2O)6]Cl2 used = 6.140 g
  • [Ni(en)3]Cl2 produced = 7.001 g

Work

  • mol of [Ni(H2O)6]Cl2
    • 6.140 g/237.67 g/mol = 0.0258 mol [Ni(H2O)6]Cl2
  • mol of [Ni(en)3]Cl2
    • 0.0258 mol [Ni(H2O)6]Cl2 x (1 mol [Ni(H2O)6]Cl2/1mol [Ni(en)3]Cl2) = 0.0258 mol
  • grams of [Ni(en)3]Cl2
    • 0.0258 mol x 309.89 g/mol = 8.00 g
  • % yield 
    • 7.001 g/8.00 g = 87.5%
