Question Detail
Question
70 g MnO₂ reacts with 3.5 moles of HCl according to MnO₂ + 4HCl → MnCl₂ + Cl₂ + 2H₂O. If the yield is 42%, what mass of Cl₂ is produced?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
MnO₂ is limiting, giving theoretical chlorine about 57 g. At 42% yield, actual mass is about 24 g.
Hint
Find limiting reagent first, then apply percentage yield.
