To calculate the percent yield, we need to determine the theoretical yield and the actual yield.Given information:- The balanced chemical equation is:
- 4 mol of
are used in the reaction.- 1 mol of
is produced by the reaction.Step 1: Calculate the theoretical yield.The theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that can be formed from the given amount of reactants, assuming 100% efficiency.From the balanced equation, we can see that 2 mol of
are required to produce 1 mol of
.Theoretical yield = (1 mol
) × (2 mol
/ 1 mol
) = 2 mol
Step 2: Calculate the actual yield.The actual yield is the amount of product that is actually formed in the reaction.Given that 1 mol of
is produced by the reaction, the actual yield is 1 mol.Step 3: Calculate the percent yield.Percent yield = (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) × 100%Percent yield = (1 mol / 2 mol) × 100% = 50%Therefore, the percent yield of the reaction is 50%.
