Question

1) What is the percent yield of the solid product when 10.68 g of iron(III) nitrate reacts in solution with excess sodium phosphate and 4.603 g of the precipitate is experimentally obtained?

2) What is the experimental yield (in g of precipitate) when 19.3 mL of a 0.6 M solution of iron(III) chloride is combined with 16.3 mL of a 0.512 M solution of lead(II) nitrate at a 83.1% yield?

3) What is the theoretical yield (in g of precipitate) when 18.3 mL of a 0.553 M solution of iron(III) chloride is combined with 18.2 mL of a 0.607 M solution of lead(II) nitrate?

Explanation / Answer

1) Fe(NO3)3(aq) + Na3PO4(aq) ----> FePO4(s) + NaNO3(aq)

no of mole of Fe(NO3)3 =w/Mwt = 10.68/241.9 = 0.0441 mole


   no of mole of FePO4 formed = 0.0441 mole

   mass of FePO4 formed (theoretical yield) = 0.0441*150.8164 = 6.65 g

   practical yield = 4.603 g

% yield = practical yield/ theoretical yield *100

          = 4.603/6.65*100

          = 69.22%

2) 3Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2FeCl3(aq) ----> 3PbCl2(s) + 2Fe(NO3)3(aq)


no of mole of Pb(NO3)2 = 19.3*0.6/1000 = 0.0116 mole

no of mole of FeCl3   = 16.3*0.512/1000 = 0.00834 mole

limiting reactant = Pb(NO3)2

theoretical yield of precipitate = 0.0116*278.1 = 3.226 g

% yield = practical yield/ theoretical yield *100

83.1 = x/3.226*100

practical yield = x = 2.68 g
