Explanation / Answer
We Know that : The given reaction is : 3SCl2 + 4 NaF--------> SF4 + S2Cl2 + 4NaCl number of moles of SCl2 = 5.0 g /102.971 g / mol = 0.0485 mol from the balanced equation it is clear that 3 moles of SCl2 produces 1 mole of S2Cl2 so 0.0485mol of S2Cl2 produces ( 1 /3 x 0.0485 ) mol = 0.0161 mol Percent yield of S2Cl2 = Theoretical yield / Actual yield * 100 Actual yield = 0.0161 mol x 135.036 g / mol = 2.174 g Theoretical yield = 1.262 g ( given ) Percentyield of S2Cl2 = 1.262 /2.174 * 100 = 58.04 %
