is this question incomplete? calculating percent yield
« on: March 17, 2024, 04:53:30 PM »
Hi, is this question incomplete or I don't understand the question？

When (9.960x10^-1) g of silver nitrate is dissolved in water and then mixed with excess potassium iodide solution (6.00x10^-1) g of precipitate form.  What is the percent yield of the reaction?  (Answer to 3 s.d. in proper scientific notation.)

First you have to develop the equation of silver nitrate and pottasium iodide.

Then you have to calculate  the moles of both salts and compare the theoretical amount with the obtained amount to calculate the yield.

Start by writing the balanced equation.
