Part A

What is the percent yield of calcium nitride for this reaction?

3 Ca (s) + N₂ (g) → Ca₃N₂ (s)

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

The percent yield of Ca₃N₂ is 44.54%.

Enter your answer using units of percent.



Answer :

In order to determine the percent yield of calcium nitride ([tex]\(Ca_3N_2\)[/tex]) for the given chemical reaction:

[tex]\[3 Ca (s) + N_2 (g) \rightarrow Ca_3N_2 (s)\][/tex]

we interpret the provided information.

The percent yield is given to us directly, representing the efficiency of the reaction in forming [tex]\(Ca_3N_2\)[/tex]. The formula for percent yield is typically:

[tex]\[ \text{Percent Yield} = \left(\frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}}\right) \times 100\% \][/tex]

Here, the percent yield is specified as:

[tex]\[ 44.54\% \][/tex]

Thus, the percent yield of [tex]\( Ca_3N_2 \)[/tex] in this reaction is:

[tex]\[ 44.54\% \][/tex]

There are no further calculations required, and this value indicates how much product was obtained in comparison to the maximum possible amount predicted by stoichiometry.
