ZnCl2 +
H2

A. What is my theoretical yield of H2 if I start with 74 g of HCI?

B. If my percent yield was 93%, what was my actual yield?

1. Theoretical yield = 2.03g

2. Actual yield 1.89g

Explanation:

Let us write a balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Zn + 2HCI —> ZnCl2 + H2

Molar Mass of HCl = 1 +35.5 = 36.5g/mol

Mass of HCl from the balanced equation = 2 x 36.5 = 73g

Molar Mass of H2 = 2x1 = 2g/mol

1. From the equation,

73g of HCl produced 2g of H2.

Therefore, 74g of HCl will produce = (74 x 2)/73 = 2.03g

Therefore, theoretical yield = 2.03g

2. %yield = 93%

Theoretical yield = 2.03g

Actual yield =?

%yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield x100

Actual yield = %yield x theoretical yield

Actual yield = 93% x 2.03 = (93/100)x2.03 = 1.89g

Actual yield =1.89g

c-14 is carbon-14, or radiocarbon.   it is a radioactive isotope of carbon with an atomic nucleus containing 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

i believe the answer is 5,000
