Compound A reacts with Compound B to form only one product, Compound C, and it's known the usual percent yield of C in this reaction is 72.%. Suppose 3.5g of A are reacted with excess Compound B, and 6.5g of Compound C are successfully isolated at the end of the reaction. A. What was the theoretical vield of C?
B. How much B was consumed by the reaction?

A. Theoretical yield of C is 9.03 g

B. Mass of B consumed is 5.53 g

Explanation:

A. Determination of the theoretical yield of C.

Actual yield of C = 6.5 g

Percentage yield of C = 72.%

Theoretical yield of C =?

Percentage yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield × 100

72% = 6.5 / Theoretical yield

72 / 100 = 6.5 / Theoretical yield

Cross multiply

72 × Theoretical yield = 100 × 6.5

72 × Theoretical yield = 650

Divide both side by 72

Theoretical yield = 650 / 72

Theoretical yield = 9.03 g

Therefore, the theoretical yield of C is 9.03 g

B. Determination of the mass of B consumed.

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

A + B —> C

Mass of A = 3.5 g

Mass of C = 9.03 g

Mass of B =?

A + B = C

3.5 + B = 9.03

Collect like terms

B = 9.03 – 3.5

B = 5.53 g

Thus, the mass of B consumed in the reaction is 5.53 g

hope this !
