Problem
The following balanced chemical equation represents the chemical reaction that takes
place during the synthesis of ethyl chloride (C2H5Cl) from ethane (C2H6)
and chlorine (Cl2):
C2H6 + Cl2 ---> HCl + C2H5Cl
If the reaction of 68.7 grams of ethane with
an excess of the other reactant results in the isolation of 107 grams
of ethyl chloride, what is the percent yield of the reaction based on ethane consumed?
Atomic Masses: C=12.0 H=1.00 Cl=35.5 amu
