For the reaction magnesium plus hyrdogen chloride yeilds hydrogen and magnesium chloride, calculate the percent yield of magnesium chloride if 100. G of magnesium react with excess hydrochloric acid to yield 330. G of magnesium chloride

Percentage yield of MgCl₂ = 83.4%

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Mg + 2HCl —> MgCl₂ + H₂

Next we shall determine the mass of of Mg that reacted and the mass of MgCl₂ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mol

Mass of Mg from the balanced equation = 1 × 24 = 24 g

Molar mass of MgCl₂ = 24 + (35.5×2)

= 24 + 71

= 95 g/mol

Mass of MgCl₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 95 = 95 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

24 g of Mg reacted to produce 95 g of MgCl₂.

Next, we shall determine the theoretical yield of MgCl₂. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

24 g of Mg reacted to produce 95 g of MgCl₂.

Therefore, 100 g of Mg will react to produce = (100 × 95)/24 = 395.83 g of MgCl₂.

Thus, the theoretical yield of MgCl₂ is 395.83 g

Finally, we shall determine the percentage yield of MgCl₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Actual yield of MgCl₂ = 330 g

Theoretical yield of MgCl₂ = 395.83 g

Percentage yield of MgCl₂ =?

Percentage yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield × 100

Percentage yield = 330 / 395.83 × 100

Percentage yield of MgCl₂ = 83.4%

mechanics (greek   is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.
