Q: A student reacts 9.62 mL of benzene (C$$_6H$_6$$, density = 3.12 g/mL) with 65.0 g of Br$$_2 to $$make bromobenzene (C$$_6H$_5Br). If 56.7 g of $$bromobenzene is obtained, what is the percent yield? (Molar masses: C$$_6H$_6 = 78.11 g/$$mol, Br$$_2 = 159.8 g/$$mol, C$$_6H$_5Br = 157.01 g/$$mol)

$$ \frac{56.7}{63.1} \times 100\% = 89.9\%$$

Q: If the actual yield of water in the previous sucrose combustion reaction is 4.32 g, what is the percent yield?

$$ \frac{4.32}{3.22} \times 100\% = 134\%$$

Q: Which of the following is the correct formula for percent yield?

$$ \frac{\text{Actual yield of product}}{\text{Theoretical yield of product}} \times 100\%$$

Question 1

Which law is demonstrated by the need to balance chemical equations, such as the combustion of methane shown in the image (CH$$_4 + 2O$_2$$ → CO$$_2 + 2H$_2O$$)?
