Answer #1

  P4(s)+10Cl2(g)→4PCl5(g)

1 mole of P4 reacts with 10 moles of Cl2

M moles of P4 reacts with 0.870 moles of Cl2

M = ( 1x0.870) / 10

= 0.0870 moles of Cl2

So (0.310 - 0.0870 ) moles of P4 left unreacted which is excess reactant

Since all the mass of Cl2 completly reacted it is the limiting reactant.

10 moles of Cl2 produces 4 moles of PCl5

0.870 moles of Cl2 produces (4x0.870) / 10 = 0.348 moles of PCl5

So mass of PCl5 produced = number of moles x molar mass

= 0.348 mol x 208.5 g/mol

= 72.6 g ----> This is the theoretical yield

So percent yield = ( actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100

= ( 34.7 / 72.6) x 100

= 47.8 %
