What is the percent yield of lithium hydroxide from a reaction of 7.40g of lithium with 10.2g of water? The actual yield was measured to be 12.1g.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is

For the balanced reaction, we've

Lithium = 14 g

Water = 36 g

LiOH = 48 g

Hydrogen gas = 2 g

So,

14 g of lithium = 48 g of lithium hydroxide

And we have:

7.40 g of lithium = x grams of lithium hydroxide

Cross Multiplying,

x grams =

Grams of lithium = 25.4 g of lithium hydroxide

So, Theoretical Yield = 25.4 g of lithium hydroxide

Now, The %age yield:

%age Yield =

%age Yield =

%age Yield = 47.6%

there are no statements provided but here is why:

sulfur belongs to group 16 because it can be found in nature whether it is in a free or combined state.

hope this

the volume increases
