10.0 g of Mg are reacted with 95.0 g of I2. If 27.5 g of magnesium iodide are obtained, what is the percent yield

% yield of reaction is 26.4

Explanation:

The reaction is:

Mg + I₂ →  MgI₂

Our reactants are magnessium and iodine. We determine the moles of each to find the limiting reactant:

10 g . 1mol / 24.3 g = 0.411 moles of Mg

95 g . 1mol / 253.8g = 0.374 moles of I₂

Ratio is 1:1. For 1 mol of Mg we need 1 mol of iodine

For 0.411 moles, we need the same amount, but we only have 0.374 moles of iodine, that's why the gas is the limiting reactant.

As ratio is 1:1 again, 0.374 moles of iodine can produce 0.374 moles of MgI₂

We determine the mas (theoretical yield): 0.374 mol . 278.1 g/mol = 104 g

To calculate the percent yield:

% yield = (yield produced /theoretical yield) . 100

% yield = (27.5 g/ 104g) . 100 = 26.4

h let me think

i believe it is 40–40–20%
