A cracking reaction converts C₁₀H₂₂ to C₄H₁₀ and C₆H₁₂. If 80% yield is achieved, what mass of C₄H₁₀ is produced from 58 g C₁₀H₂₂?
Q1. A cracking reaction converts C₁₀H₂₂ to C₄H₁₀ and C₆H₁₂. If 80% yield is achieved, what mass of C₄H₁₀ is produced from 58 g C₁₀H₂₂?
Answer: 23.0 g
Explanation: Molar mass C₁₀H₂₂ = 142 g/mol. 58 g = 0.41 mol. 80% yield = 0.33 mol C₄H₁₀ (23 g). Distractor C uses 100% yield.
