The percent yield : 81.5%
Further explanation
Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated
General formula:
Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%
An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients
Reaction
2CO+O₂⇒2CO₂
mol CO(MW=28,01 g/mol)
[tex]\tt \dfrac{10}{28.01}=0.357[/tex]
mass CO₂ (theoretical)(MW=44,01 g/mol)
[tex]\tt 0.357\times 44.01=15.712~g[/tex]
the percent yield :
[tex]\tt \dfrac{12.81}{15.712}\times 100\%=81.5\%[/tex]
