10.0 g of Mg are reacted with 95.0 g of I2. If 27.5 g of magnesium iodide are obtained, what is the percent yield

% yield of reaction is 26.4

Explanation:

The reaction is:

Mg + I₂ →  MgI₂

Our reactants are magnessium and iodine. We determine the moles of each to find the limiting reactant:

10 g . 1mol / 24.3 g = 0.411 moles of Mg

95 g . 1mol / 253.8g = 0.374 moles of I₂

Ratio is 1:1. For 1 mol of Mg we need 1 mol of iodine

For 0.411 moles, we need the same amount, but we only have 0.374 moles of iodine, that's why the gas is the limiting reactant.

As ratio is 1:1 again, 0.374 moles of iodine can produce 0.374 moles of MgI₂

We determine the mas (theoretical yield): 0.374 mol . 278.1 g/mol = 104 g

To calculate the percent yield:

% yield = (yield produced /theoretical yield) . 100

% yield = (27.5 g/ 104g) . 100 = 26.4

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.
