Answer: The actual yield of is 60.0 g
Explanation:-
The balanced chemical reaction :
Mass of =
According to stoichiometry:
1 mole of gives = 1 mole of
1.51 moles of gives =
moles of
Theoretical yield of
Percent yield of =
Thus the actual yield of is 60.0 g
Answer: The empirical formula of the compound is
Explanation:
Empirical formula is defined formula which is simplest integer ratio of number of atoms of different elements present in the compound.
Percentage of iron in a compound = 36.76 %
Percentage of sulfur in a compound = 21.11 %
Percentage of oxygen in a compound = 42.13 %
Consider in 100 g of the compound:
Mass of iron in 100 g of compound = 36.76 g
Mass of iron in 100 g of compound = 21.11 g
Mass of iron in 100 g of compound = 42.13 g
Now calculate the number of moles each element:
Moles of iron=
Moles of sulfur=
Moles of oxygen=
Divide the moles of each element by the smallest number of moles to calculated the ratio of the elements to each other
For Iron element =
For sulfur element =
For oxygen element =
So, the empirical formula of the compound is
