QUESTION:
Acetylene gas, C2H2, burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. If 62.0 g of CO2 is produced when 22.5 g of C2H2 reacts with sufficient oxygen, what is the percent yield of CO2 for the reaction? (6.1, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8)
ANSWER:Solution 115 AQPHere we have to calculate the percent yield of CO2 for the reaction.The given chemical reaction is,2C2H2 + 5O2 4CO2 + 2H2OStep-1Mass of CO2 produce= 62.0 gm (actual yield)Mass of acetylene (C2H2) = 22.5 gmIt is known that the % yield can be calculated as,% yield = 100 %Here actual yie
