Answer:
83.8%
Explanation:
The balanced reaction equation is;
2Al(s) + 3Cl2(g) → 2AlCl3(s)
Now we have to obtain the limiting reactant as the reactant that produces the least amount of AlCl3
Amount of Al = 3.11g/27 g/mol = 0.115 moles
If 2 moles of Al yields 2 moles of AlCl3
Then 0.115 moles of Al yields 0.115 moles of AlCl3
For Cl2
Amount of Cl2 = 5.32 g/71 g/mol= 0.075 moles
If 3 moles of Cl2 yields 2 moles of AlCl3
0.075 moles of Cl2 yields 0.075 * 2/3 = 0.05 moles of AlCl3
Hence Cl2 is the limiting reactant
Theoretical yield of AlCl3 = 0.05 moles of AlCl3 * 133g/mol = 6.65 g
%yield = actual yield /theoretical yield * 100
%yield = 5.57 g/6.65 g * 100
%yield = 83.8%
