Question
Ethylene reacts with hydrogen chloride to form ethyl chloride:$$\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}(g)+\mathrm{HCl}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{Cl}(g)$$Calculate the mass of ethyl chloride formed if $4.66 \mathrm{~g}$ of ethylene reacts with an 89.4 percent yield.
Step 1
The molar mass of ethylene (C2H4) is (2 × 12.01) + (4 × 1.01) = 28.06 g/mol. So, moles of ethylene = mass / molar mass = 4.66 g / 28.06 g/mol = 0.166 mol. Show more…

What is the theoretical yield of ethyl chloride in the reaction of 19.1 g of ethylene with 53 g of hydrogen chloride? (For ethylene, MW = 28.0 amu; for hydrogen chloride, MW = 36.5 amu; for ethyl chloride, MW = 64.5 amu.) H2C=CH2 + HCl → CH3CH2Cl What is the percent yield if 27.5 g of ethyl chloride is actually formed?
Ethyl chloride is prepared by the reaction of chlorine with ethane according to the following balanced equation. $\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{Cl}(\ell)+\mathrm{HCl}(\mathrm{g})$ When $5.6 \mathrm{g}$ of ethane is reacted with excess chlorine, $8.2 \mathrm{g}$ of ethyl chloride forms. Calculate the percent yield of ethyl chloride.
Hydrogen and chlorine react to yield hydrogen chloride: $\mathrm{H}_{2}+\mathrm{Cl}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{HCl}$. How many grams of $\mathrm{HCl}$ are formed from reaction of $3.56 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{H}_{2}$ with $8.94 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ ? Which reactant is limiting?
