              (1)  %age Yield  =  90.03 %

              (2)  Leftover O₂  =  217.4 g

              (3)  Following Ratios of Reactants for efficient reactions:

Case 1:

                                            SiCl₄   :   O₂

                                            75 g    :   14.12 g

                                       0.44 mol  :  0.44 mol

Case 2:

                                            SiCl₄   :   O₂

                                         265 g    :   50 g

                                       1.56 mol  :  1.56 mol

The balance chemical equation is as follow;

                                    SiCl₄ + O₂  →  SiO₂ + 2 Cl₂

Given Data For Trial 1:

Starting Amount of SiCl₄  =  120 g

Starting Amount of O₂      =  240 g

Actual Yield of SiO₂          =  38.2 g

Calculating the percentage yield for SiO₂ for Trial 1;

According to balance chemical equation 1 mole (169.89 g) SiCl₄ will completely react with 1 mole (32 g) O₂ to produce SiO₂ and Cl₂. Therefore, when 120 g (0.70 mole) of SiO₄ will react with 22.60 g (0.70 mole) of O₂. But , we are provided with 240 g of O₂ therefore, O₂ is in excess and the final yield will be controlled by the amount of limiting SiO₄.

So,

As,

          169.89 g (1 mole) SiO₄ produced  =  60.08 g (1 mole) SiO₂

So,

              120 g (0.70 mole) SiO₂ will produce  =  X g of SiO₂

Solving for X,

                     X =  60.08 g × 120 g ÷ 169.89 g

                    X  =  42.43 g of SiO₂

Hene, the theoretical yield is 42.43 g of SiO₂.

Percentage yiels is given as,

                        %age yield  =  Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

Putting values,

                        %age Yield  =  38.2 g / 42.43 g × 100

                        %age Yield  =  90.03 %

Determining the leftover reactant for the trial 1;

As shown above, O₂ is in excess. For given amount of SiCl₄ only 22.60 g of O₂ is consumed. As we are given with 240 g of O₂ so, the leftover O₂ is calculated as.

                           Leftover O₂  =  Given O₂  -  Used O₂

                           Leftover O₂  =  240 g  -  22.60 g

                           Leftover O₂  =  217.4 g

Given Data For Trial 2:

Starting Amount of SiCl₄  =  75 g

Starting Amount of O₂      =  50 g

Actual Yield of SiO₂          =  25.2 g

Calculating ratio of reactants more efficient for the given reaction;

The efficient reaction is said to be that reaction in which all the reactants are consumed (almost completely) without leaving any leftovers as that we have seen in case of O₂ in trial 1.

According to balance equation the more efficient molar ratio of SiCl₄ and O₂ is,

                                                  1  :  1

Means, for each mole of either SiCl₄ or O₂ we exactly require 1 mole of O₂ or SiCl₄. In Trial 2 we are given with 75 g (0.44 mole) of SiCl₄ and 50 g (1.56 mole) of O₂. Hence, to attain maximum efficience we will require either of the two ratios of reactants.

Case 1:

                                            SiCl₄   :   O₂

                                            75 g    :   14.12 g

                                       0.44 mol  :  0.44 mol

Case 2:

                                            SiCl₄   :   O₂

                                         265 g    :   50 g

                                       1.56 mol  :  1.56 mol
