If 100 mg of ferrocene is reacted with 75 mg of anhydrous aluminum chloride and 40 microliters of acetyl chloride and 100 mg of product is isolated, what is the percent yield assuming the product is only mono acetylferrocene?

81.3 %

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

For ferrocene:-

Mass of ferrocene = 100 mg = 0.1 g

Molar mass of ferrocene = 186.04 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

Thus,

For acetyl chloride:-

Volume = 40 microliters = 0.04 mL

Density = 1.1 g / mL

Density is defined as:-

or,  

Mass of acetyl chloride = 0.044 g

Molar mass of acetyl chloride = 78.49 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

Thus,

As per the reaction stoichiometry, one mole of ferrocene reacts with one mole of acetyl chloride to give one mole of monoacetylferrocene

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, ferrocene is limiting reagent.

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

one mole of ferrocene on reaction forms one mole of monoacetylferrocene

0.0005375 mole of ferrocene on reaction forms  0.0005375 mole of monoacetylferrocene

Moles of product formed =  0.0005375 moles

Molar mass of monoacetylferrocene = 228.07 g/mole

Mass of monoacetylferrocene produced = Moles*molecular weight = 0.0005375*228.07 g = 0.123 grams = 123 mg

Given experimental yield = 100 mg

% yield = (Experimental yield / Theoretical yield) × 100 = (100/ 123) × 100 = 81.3 %
