I have a question on my homework asking for the percent yield in a solution of barium II chloride and potassium sulfate. The concentration of each of the reactants is 0.15 M for barium II chloride and 0.24 M for potassium sulfate. 115.0 mL of each are allowed to react, and 5.1418 grams of solid are created.
I got that the solid created is barium sulfate, and it is in a 1:1 ratio with all the reactants in the net ionic equation. However, no matter how many times I try I always get that the actual yield of 5.1418 grams is higher than the theoretical yield when I find the limiting reactant and multiplying it by the molar mass.
Any ideas? Thanks!
