Respuesta :

Answer:

Percent yield = 57%

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of propane = 4.50 mol

Number of moles of carbon dioxide = 7.64 mol

Percent yield = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of propane and carbon dioxide.

                            C₃H₈            :            CO₂

                                 1               ;                3

                                  4.50        :              3×4.50 = 13.5 mol

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield =  7.64 mol / 13.5 mol × 100

Percent yield = 0.57× 100

Percent yield = 57%
