What is the theoretical yield of S2Clin grams when 4.06 grams of Sis heated with 6.24 g of Cl2? If the actual yield of S2Cl2 is 6.55g what is the percent yeild?

Expert Solution
Analysis

Given : mass of S8 = 4.06 gram, mass of Cl2 = 6.24 gram. 

To find : Theoretical yield and percent yield of S2Cl2

Solution : As we know that, the theoretical yield of any substance depends upon mole of limiting reactant. As we know that in a reaction which reactant have less number of moles will be limiting reactant.

Percent yield of any substance is the ratio of actual yield and theoretical yield.

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield
