To determine the percent yield of the reaction, we need to follow these steps:1. Calculate the theoretical yield of hydrogen gas (
).2. Calculate the percent yield using the actual yield and the theoretical yield.First, let's write down the balanced chemical equation for the reaction:
From the balanced equation, we see that 1 mole of magnesium (
) produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas (
).Next, we need to find the molar mass of
:
Now, let's calculate the theoretical yield of
. Given that we have 45 grams of
, we first need to convert this mass to moles:
Since the reaction is 1:1, the moles of
produced will also be 1.85 moles. Now, we convert moles of
to grams:
Finally, we calculate the percent yield using the actual yield (2.01 grams) and the theoretical yield (3.72 grams):
So, the percent yield of the reaction is approximately 53.8%.
