A reaction starts with 20.0 g of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) and actually produces 31.0 g of lithium chloride (LiCl), what is the percent yield? (Hint: First calculate the theoretical yield of lithium chloride (LiCl))

64.5%
88.6%
81.5%
92.8%

87.6 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

LiOH + KCl ⇒ LiCl + KOH

Step 2: Calculate the theoretical yield of LiCl

We will use the following relations:

The theoretical yield of LiCl from 20.0 g of LiOH is:

Step 3: Calculate the percent yield of LiCl.

We will use the following expression.

with this one i know the answer in craters one reason i looked it up and i learned about it there is my evidence
