1. Phosphorous reacts with bromine to form phosphorous tribromide. If 35.0 grams of bromine reacted and 27.9 grams of phosphorous tribromide are actually formed.
what is the percent yield of phosphorous tribromide (PBr3)?
2 P + 3 Br2 ---> 2 PBr3
(Note that the molar masses: P=30.97g, Br = 79.90g) Show your steps

70.6 %

Explanation:

First step, we define the reaction:

2P + 3Br₂  →  2PBr₃

We determine the moles of reactant:

35 g . 1mol / 159.8 g = 0.219 moles

We assume, the P is in excess, so the bromine is the limiting reagent.

3 moles of Br₂ can produce 2 moles of phophorous tribromide

Then, 0.219 moles may produce (0.219 . 2) /3 = 0.146 moles of PBr₃

We convert moles to mass:

0.146 mol .  270.67 g /mol = 39.5 g

That's the 100 % yield reaction, also called theoretical yield. The way to determine the % yield is:

(Yield produced / Thoeretical yield) . 100

(27.9 / 39.5) . 100 = 70.6 %
