zinc + sodium hydroxide + water → sodium zinc hydroxide + hydrogen gas If 180.20 grams of sodium hydroxide are reacted with 5.0 × 1022 particles of water, how many moles of hydrogen gas will be produced if the reaction proceeds with an 82.749% yield? **I already know how to balance the equation. I need help calculating the percent yield with “x” product. Do I find the limiting reagent first and then multiply that by the given % yield?**
What does the percent yield mean in describing chemical reactions and why is it not exactly 100%?
DDT, which can be prepared by the reaction shown below, was an insecticide used to prevent mosquito borne diseases. Due to the harmful effects on birds and fish, it is now banned in the US. However, other countries still use it to control mosquitos. Determine the amount of DDT that can be produced and the percent yield for this reaction by constructing a BCA table, determining the maximum grams of DDT that can be produced, and calculating the percent yield.
