(Solved): Oxidation of hydrogen chloride can produce chloric acid. 3O2 + 2HCl 2HClO3 If 27.0 grams of O2 ...



Oxidation of hydrogen chloride can produce chloric acid. 3O2 + 2HCl → 2HClO3

If 27.0 grams of O2 reacted with 35.0 grams of HCl, how many grams of HClO3 would form? Answer: 47.52

Follow up Q for above:

If only 40.9 grams of HClO3 formed in this reaction, what would be its percent yield?

How to solve;

Let's calculate stepwise so you can understand quickly;

step 1
Calculate the number of moles of HCl and O2

Step 2
then from moles we can determine the limiting agent(which is consumed entirely)

Step 3
From the stoichiometric ratio, find the mole of HClO3.

Step 4
Calculate the mass of the theoretical yield of HClO3.

Step 5
Calculate the percent yield:

Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100%

Now It's solved:)
