When reacting Na with Cl₂, we calculated that the theoretical yield should be 13 grams. Our actual yield was 12.5 grams. What is the percent yield?

• 90.4%

• 104%

• 96.15%

• 1.04%

2Fe₂O₃ + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO₂

You add 2.33 mol of Carbon to the reaction. You find the actual yield to be 2.98 mol of Fe.

What is the percent yield of Fe?

(Hint: calculate theoretical yield of moles of Fe first)

• 95.9%

• 128%

• 78.2%

• 58.6%

• 170%

A student is trying to figure out the problem below:

2O2 + CH4 → CO2 + 2H2O

5.0 moles of water are produced. How many grams of methane (CH4) were used?

What is wrong with the student's set up?
