When ethane, C2H6, reacts with chlorine, Cl2, the main product is C2H5Cl, but other products containing Cl such as C2H4Cl2 are also obtained in small quantities. C2H6 + Cl2 C2H5Cl + "Other Stuff" The formation of these other products reduces the yield of C2H5Cl. Using the stoichiometry given in the chemical formula above, calculate the percent yield of C2H5Cl if the reaction of 150 g of C2H6 with 230. g of Cl2 produced 170 g of C2H5Cl.
Molecular weight of C2H6 is 30.07 g
Molecular weight of C2H5Cl is 64.51 g
Therefore 30.07 g of ethane will produce 64.51 g of ethyl chloride is 100 % is yield
100 % yield for 150 g of C2H6
30.07 = 64.51
150 = ?
On cross multiplying
150 x 64.51 / 30.07 = 321.8 of C2H5Cl is 100 % yield or theortical yield
Yield percentage = actual yield / theortical yield x 100
Yield percentage = 170 / 321.8 x 100 = 52.83 %

When ethane (C2H6) reacts with chlorine (Cl2), the main product is C2H5Cl; but other products containing Cl, such as C2H4Cl2, are also obtained in small quantities. The formation of these other products reduces the yield of C2H5Cl. a. Calculate the theoretical yield of C2H5Cl when 111 g of C2H6 reacts with 207 g of Cl2, assuming that C2H6 and Cl2 react only to form C2H5Cl and HCl. b. Calculate the percent yield of C2H5Cl if the reaction produces 161 g...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
