Question

A chemical company produces ammonia using the following reaction:

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3



They run a reaction meant to fill an order for a customer who would like to purchase 500.0g of ammonia. When the reaction is complete, the company finds they produced only 430.0g of ammonia. What it their percent yield for that reaction?



70.00%


86.00%


116.3%


93.00%

HELPPP PLEASE

Answer 1

`\boxed{\text{ 86.00\,\%}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

`\text{\% yield} = \frac{\text{actual yield}}{\text {theoretical yield}} *\text{100 \%}`

Data:

Actual yield = 430.0 g

Theoretical yield = 500.0 g

Calculation:

`\text{\% yield} = \frac{\text{430.0 g}}{\text {500.0 g}} *\text{100 \%} = \boxed{\text{86.00 \%}}`
