2Al (s) + 3Cl2 (g) --> 2AlCl3 (s) (balanced) When 52 grams of chlorine gas react, the actual yield is 42.5 grams, what is the

percent yield?

Percent yield = 65.2 %

Explanation:

The reaction determines this:

2 moles of Al react to 3 moles of chlorine gas in order to produce 2 mol of aluminum chloride.

We determine the moles of chlorine:

52 g . 1mol /70.9g = 0.733 moles of Cl₂

3 moles of gas can produce 2 moles of salt

Then, our 0.733 moles may produce (0.733 . 2) / 3 = 0.489 moles of AlCl₃

We convert moles to mass to predict the 100 % yield

0.489 mol . 133.3 g /mol = 65.19 g

Percent yield = (Yield produced / 100 % yield) . 100

Percent yield = (42.5 g / 65.19g) . 100 = 65.2 %

answer

fusion: the energy source of stars. the energy released from the collapse of the gas into a protostar causes the center of the protostar to become extremely hot. when the core is hot enough, nuclear fusion commences. fusion is the process where two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, releasing energy.
