PLEASE EXPLAIN why is the experimental yield of chloropentammino cobalt(III) Chloride complex so low compared to the theortical yield. view image for better understanding
Calculation of % yield of product
Yield of chloropentamminocobalt(III) Chloride in grams: 0.5575g
Grams of CoC2.6H2O used: 1.65g
% yield: 0.5575g/ 1.65g 0.338 x100/1= 33.8%
Theoretical yield: Ratio 2:2
1.65g x MW of product/ MW of CoCl2.6H2O
= (1.65 x 250.44g/mol)/ 238g 1.74g
Theoretical yield(g)
% yield
Product yield(g)
0.5575
