Answer to Problem 6STP

The correct option is (d), 86.8 %.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The reaction:

2HgO(s)  2Hg(l) + O2(g)

The number of moles of HgO decomposed = 3.55 mol

The number of moles of O2 produced = 1.54 mol

The mass of Hg produced is 618 g (actual yield).

From balanced reaction, the mole ratio of HgO and Hg is 2:2 that is 1:1 that means 1 mole of HgO produces 1 mole of Hg. So, the number of moles of Hg produced from 3.55 of HgO is 3.55 mol.

Now, the mass of produced Hg is calculated as:

Number of moles=MassMolar mass

Molar mass of Hg is 200.59 g/mol. So,

3.55 mol=Mass200.59 g/molMass = 3.55 mol×200.59 g/molMass = 712.09 g

Now, the percent yield is calculated using formula:

Percentyield=ActualyieldTheoreticalyield×100

Substituting the values:

Percent yield=618 g 712.09 g×100 %Percent yield=86.8 %

Hence, the percent yield for the given reaction is 86.8 %.
