Zinc reacts with iodine in a synthesis reaction. Using a balanced chemical equation for the reaction, determine the percent yield of a 129.0gram sample of zinc was used and 510.6 grams of product is recovered

81.9 % is the percent yield of reaction of zinc with iodine producing ZnI2.

Explanation:

Balanced chemical equation for the reaction:

Zn + I2 ⇒ ZnI2

Data given:

mass of sample zinc = 129 grams  

mass of ZnI2 formed = 510.6 grams (actual yield)

number of moles =

 number of moles of zinc =

                                            = 1.97 moles

from stoichiometry

1 mole of Zn reacts to form 1 mole of ZnI2

1.97 moles of Zn will form 1.97 moles of ZnI2

atomic mass of ZnI2 = 319.22 grams/mole

mass of ZnI2 formed = 628.86 grams (theoretical yield)

% yield = x100     equation 1

from the reaction,

Putting the values in equation 1

% yield =  x 100

             =  81.19 % is the % yield.

i did this but i forgot how to do it

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
