Carbon disulfide is produced by the reaction of carbon and sulfur dioxide

Question

Carbon disulfide is produced by the reaction of carbon and sulfur dioxide. What is the percent yield of carbon disulfide if the reaction of 180.0 g of sulfur dioxide produces 72.0 grams of carbon disulfide?

                               5C  +  2SO₂  --> CS₂  + 4CO

Answer 1

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield (x100%)

Actual yield = 72.0 g

Theoretical yield needs to be calculated

5C  +  2SO₂  --> CS₂  + 4CO

180 g SO₂ x 1 mol SO₂ / 64 g x 1 mol CS₂ / 2 mol SO₂ x 76 g CS₂ / mol CS₂ = 107 g CS₂ theoretical yield

Percent yield = 72.0 g / 107 g (x100%) = 67.3% yield
