What is the theoretical yield for CCl4 reacting with 100.0 grams of Cl2 with excess CS2.

Theoretical yield is 216.88 grams when reacting with 100.0 grams of Cl2 with excess CS2.

Explanation:

Theoretical yield is the complete conversion of a limiting reagent in product.

In the equation given

3Cl2 +  CS2 ⇒ CCl4

100 grams of Cl2 will give

number of moles =

                             =

                              = 1.41 moles

3 moles of Cl2 gives 1 mole of CCl4

1.41 moles of Cl2 will give x moles of CCl4

=

0.47 moles of CCl4 is formed

Theoretical yield is 0.47 x 153.82

= 216.88 grams.

 100 gram of Cl2 is the limiting reagent in the reaction which produced 216.88 grams of CCl4.
