Tin(IV) chloride is produced in 46.9% yield by the reaction of tin with chlorine. How much tin, in kilograms, is required to produce 6.484 kilogram of tin(IV) chloride?
The answer is 6.30 Kg but I keep getting 592 g
actual yield of SnCl4 = 6.484Kg = 6484g
percentage yield = 46.9%
percent yield = acutual yield*100/theoritical yield
46.9 = 6484*100/theoritical yield
theoritical yield = 6484*100/46.9 = 13825g
Sn + 2Cl2 ------------------> SnCl4
1moles of SnCl4 produced from 1 moles of Sn
260.5g of SnCl4 produced from 118.7g of Sn
13825g of SnCl4 produced from = 118.7*13825/260.5 = 6300g = 6.3Kg of Sn >>>>answer
