If 12.5 grams of calcium is reacted with excess hydrogen chloride in a water solution according to the following chemical reaction, and the measured amount of 23.5
grams of calcium chloride is produced, what is the percent
yield for the reaction? Use
the balanced equation given below.
Ca (s) + 2HCl (aq) - CaCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)
First, calculate the theoretical yield, then calculate the percent yield. You must show
all your work with calculations with a proper set up including:
a. how you find the molar mass of CaCl2,
b. how you calculate the theoretical yield
C. how you calculate the correct percent yield.
