The reaction of 5.0 g of fluorine with excess chlorine produced 5.6 g of chlorine trifluoride. What is the percent yield of the reaction?
Balenced chemical eq.
Cl2 + 3F2 --------> 2ClF3
71g (Cl2) react with 114g (F2) to obtain 184.9g of product (ClF3) formation.
Theoretical yield calculation (100%):
In gram if 5g of F2 taken: 5 x 184.9 / 114 = 8.1g (100%). It means we should get 8.1g of ClF3 from 5g of F2 after completion of reaction.
But from question it is only 5.6g.
So now, experimental yield % = 5.6 x 100 /8.1 = 69.13%.
