What’s In  

Let us consider the decomposition of water, 2H 2O → 2H2  + O2 based on the

discussion on the last module we can say that for every two moles of water there are two
moles of hydrogen present or for every two moles of water there is a mole of oxygen
present in the reaction. Such relationship
relationship is what we call the mole ratio of the reaction.  
Using the mole relationship and stoichiometry we were also able to calculate the
product formed during the chemical reaction. Say for example using the same reaction
above, how many moles of O2 will be formed if 7.0 moles of H 2O decomposes into H2 and
O2? 
Solution: 

Theoretically 3.5 moles of oxygen will be formed after the dissociation of water, but is
it really the actual result?
result? On this module we will found out if the theoretical result will be
the same as the actual result.

What’s New  

Lorenzo is making burgers when he checked on the stocks he found out that he still
have 4 burger buns and 5 burger patties available, how many burgers can he make?  

 Assuming that the ratio of burger patties and burger buns is in a one -to-one ratio, we
can conclude that Lorenzo can
can make 4 sets of burgers. One burger patty will be left as
excess. He will be limited
limited by the number of burger buns since
since the buns will run out
first.

Percent Yield and Theoretical Yield  

What is It

Chemical reaction in reality doesn’

doesn ’t always go as planned on papers, a chemist
before performing a laboratory experiment
experiment must calculate first to be able to know how much
product will be formed. During experiment there are many factors that may contribute why
the products that actually formed is less compared to the calculated one. Chemists
measures how successful the experiment by percentage yield. 
To calculate for the percentage yield one must identify first how much product is
formed using stoichiometry. This is called theoretical yield, yield, the maximum amount of
product formed from the given amount of reactants. The actual yield on yield on the other hand is
the actual product formed when the reaction is carried out in the laboratory. And the
percent yield is
yield is the ratio of actual yield to the theoretical yi
yield
eld expressed as percentage. 

Figure 1: Formula for percent yield  

Sample Problem 1:  

From the following statements identify what is the actual and theoretical yield. 

 A.  Before performing an experiment Mateo calculated

calculated that the reaction of 20.7 grams of
CaCO3 will produce 11.59 grams CaO. After performing the experiment he found out
that only 6.81 grams of CaO was produced. 
 Answer:
Theoretical Yield
Yield is 11.59 grams CaO 
 Actual Yield
Yield is 6.81 grams CaO 

B. In a certain experiment, 40.0g KClO3 is heated until it completely decomposes. 15.7g O 2 

is expected to be collected. The experimen
experimentt is performed and the oxygen gas is collected
and its mass is found to be 14.9g. 
 Answer:
Theoretical Yield is 15.7g O2 
 Actual Yield
Yield is14.9g O2

Sample Problem 2:  

Given the reaction: 

Na2S(aq) + 2 AgNO3(aq) → Ag2S(s) + 2 NaNO3(aq) 
How many grams of Ag2S will form when 3.94 g of AgNO 3 and an excess of Na 2S are
reacted together? 
Solution: 
 A. The key to solving
solving this type of problem
problem is to find the mole ratio between the product
and the reactant. 
Step 1 - Find the atomic weight of AgNO3 and Ag2S. 
 Atomic weight of AgNO3 = 169.88 g 
 Atomic weight of Ag2S = 247.75 g 
Step 2  -
 - Find mole ratio between product and reactant  
The reaction formula gives the whole number of moles needed to complete and balance the
reaction. For this reaction,  two moles of AgNO3 is needed to produce one mole of Ag2S. 
The mole ratio then is 1 mol Ag 2S/2 mol AgNO3 
Step 3 Find amount of product produced.  Note the
units cancel
out, leaving
only grams
of Ag2S 
The excess of Na S means all 3.94 g of AgNO  will be used to
2 3
complete the reaction.  
 Ag2S = 2.87 g Ag2S 
 Answer: 2.87
 Answer: 2.87 g of Ag 2S will be produced from 3.94 g of AgNO 3. 

Sample Problem 3:  

For the balanced equation shown below, if the reaction of 20.7 grams of CaCO 3 produces
6.81 grams of CaO, what is the percent yield? 
CaCO3 → CaO + CO2 
Given: 
Weight of CaCO3 = 20.7g 

 Actual Yield of CaO = 6.81g 

Solution: 
 A. First we must calculate
calculate the theoretical yield via stoi
stoichiometry
chiometry 

B. Next calculate the percent yield 

Note the units cancel
out, leaving only grams
of CaO
