What is percent yield of this reaction?
The following reaction occurred in lab. The student obtained 425g of titatnium (IV) chloride from 4.15 mol TiO2, 5.67 mol C and 6.78 mol Cl2. What is the percent yield of this reaction!
Im studying for an exam, so if you could explain the steps I would really appreciate it :)
Thanks in advance!

1 Answer
Step 1: Balance the chemical reaction.
Step 2: Find the limiting reagent.
The limiting reagent in this reaction will be
Thus, we resort to the compound we have the least of next since we need the same number of moles of
Step 3: Find the theoretical yield of
Step 4: Use the mole ratio between
Step 4: Convert moles of
Step 5: Use the theoretical yield and the actual yield to calculate the percent yield using the equation:
Thus, we can plug in:
Finally, our percent yield is 78.8%.
I hope this helps for your exam!
