Actual, theoretical and percent yield.

1. The student weights a 1,00g sample of cadmium chloride and dissolves it in water, then adds aqueous sodium sulfide solution
to obtain a precipitate of cadmium sulfide. The balanced equation for the reaction is:

..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The student weights the precipitate of cadmium sulfide and finds that it has an actual mass of 0,775g. What is the theoretical and
percent yield?

2. Ammonium nitrate is used in explosives and produced by the reaction of ammonia and nitric acid. The equation for the
reaction is:

NH3 HNO3TNHeNO3
..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

If 15 kg of ammonia gives an actual yield of 65,3 kg of ammonium nitrate, what is the percent yield?

 3. When 84,8g of iron(III) oxide reacts with the excess of carbon monoxide, iron and carbon dioxide are produced. What is the
percent yield if 40 g of iron was produced?

4. The heating of diantimony trisulfide in the presence of iron gives the element antimony and iron(II) sulfide. Write and balance
the equation.

When 15,0g of diantimony trisulfide reacts with an excess of iron, 9,84g of antimony is produced. What is the percent yield of
this reaction?

5. If 75g of iron(II) carbonate is heated with the excess of oxygen, 45g of iron(III) oxide is produced. What is the percent yield of
this reaction? (Be careful, there are two products in the reaction!)
