Percent Yield Worksheet W 325

1) Write a balanced equation for the reaction of tin (IV) phosphate with
sodium carbonate to make tin (IV) carbonate and sodium phosphate.

Sn3(PO4) + Na2CO3Sn(CO3)2 + Na3PO4

Balanced equation : Sn3(PO4) + 6Na2CO33Sn(CO3)2 + 4Na3PO4

2) If 36 grams of tin (IV) phosphate is mixed with an excess of sodium

carbonate, how many grams of tin (IV) carbonate will form?

Given: mass of Sn3(PO4) = 36 gram

Answer

Mol Sn3(PO4) = g/Mr = 36/735.98 = 0,0489

Mol 3Sn(CO3)2 = 1/3 x 0,0489 = 0,0163

Massa 3Sn(CO3)2 = n x Mr = 0,0163 x 676,1 = 11,02 gram

3) If 29.8 grams of tin (IV) carbonate are actually formed when this reaction
goes to completion, what is the percent yield?

4) If 7.3 grams of sodium carbonate are used in the reaction and the result a
74.0% yield, how many grams of sodium phosphate will be formed?
