  • 2. 

    If the reaction of 6.5 grams of C6H12O6 produces 2.5 grams of CO2, what is the percent yield of CO2? C6H12O6 ------> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

    • 78.86%

    • 90.00%

    • 92.00%

    • 92.25%

  • 3. 

    How to calculate percent yield?

    • Mass of Theoretical Yield / Mass of Actual Yield x 100 percent

    • Mass of Actual Yield * Mass of Theoretical Yield * 100 percent

    • Mass of Actual Yield / Mass of Theoretical Yield * 100 percent

    • All of the above

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    In which case, the actual yield becomes more than the theoretical yield?

    • If the solvent is still present in the product.

    • From error weighing the product

    • If the product is impure.

    • All of the above

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What is the difference between theoretical and actual yield?

    • The actual yield is the total product produced, whereas the theoretical yield is the amount of product based on the complete reaction of the limiting reagent.

    • The theoretical yield is the total product produced, whereas the actual yields are the number of products based on the complete reaction of the limiting reagent.

    • Both A and B

    • None of the above

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    If 6.1 metric tons of methyl alcohol is obtained from 1.2 metric tons of hydrogen reacting with excess CO, what will be the percentage yield?

    • 62%

    • 64%

    • 74%

    • 96%

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Why is the actual yield lower than the theoretical yield?

    • Because a few reactions truly proceed to completion.

    • It's quite impossible to recover all of the product in a reaction.

    • Both A and B

    • None of the above

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Theoretical yield is measured in

    • Grams

    • Moles

    • Both A and B

    • None of the above

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A solution containing silver ion, Ag+, has been treated with an excess of chloride ions Cl . When dried, 0.1234 g of AgCl was recovered. How many grams of silver ions were present in the solution assuming the percentage yield to be 98.7%?

    • 0.0009 g

    • 0.009 g 

    • 0.09 g

    • 0.19 g

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What will be the theoretical yield of geranyl formate production from 375 g of geraniol? A chemist makes geranyl formate using 375g of raw material and 417g of refined product. The yield percentage is quoted as 94.1%.

    • 443g

    • 445g

    • 446g

    • 449g
