Percent\ yield: \( \frac{19.3\,\mathrm{g}\,\mathrm{NaCl}}{34.0024\,\mathrm{g}\,\mathrm{NaCl}} \cdot 100 = 56.7568\% \)
Step 1 :\( \mathrm{CuCl}_2 + 2 \mathrm{NaNO}_3 \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{NO}_3)_2 + 2 \mathrm{NaCl} \)
Step 2 :\( 2\mathrm{NaCl} = \frac{25.00\,\mathrm{g}\,\mathrm{CuCl}_2}{170.48\,\mathrm{g/mol}\,\mathrm{CuCl}_2} \cdot \frac{2\,\mathrm{mol}\,\mathrm{NaCl}}{1\,\mathrm{mol}\,\mathrm{CuCl}_2} \cdot \frac{58.44\,\mathrm{g/mol}\,\mathrm{NaCl}}{1\,\mathrm{mol}\,\mathrm{NaCl}} = 34.0024\,\mathrm{g}\,\mathrm{NaCl} \)
Step 3 :Limiting\ reagent: \mathrm{NaNO}_3
Step 4 :\( \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{NO}_3)_2 = \frac{30.00\,\mathrm{g}\,\mathrm{NaNO}_3}{85.00\,\mathrm{g/mol}\,\mathrm{NaNO}_3} \cdot \frac{1\,\mathrm{mol}\,\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{NO}_3)_2}{2\,\mathrm{mol}\,\mathrm{NaNO}_3} \cdot \frac{187.57\,\mathrm{g/mol}\,\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{NO}_3)_2}{1\,\mathrm{mol}\,\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{NO}_3)_2} = 19.9000\,\mathrm{g}\,\mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{NO}_3)_2 \)
Step 5 :Excess\ reagent\ left\ over: \mathrm{CuCl}_2 = \frac{30.00\,\mathrm{g}\,\mathrm{NaNO}_3}{85.00\,\mathrm{g/mol}\,\mathrm{NaNO}_3} \cdot \frac{1\,\mathrm{mol}\,\mathrm{CuCl}_2}{2\,\mathrm{mol}\,\mathrm{NaNO}_3} \cdot \frac{170.48\,\mathrm{g/mol}\,\mathrm{CuCl}_2}{1\,\mathrm{mol}\,\mathrm{CuCl}_2} - 25.00\,\mathrm{g}\,\mathrm{CuCl}_2 = -10.8824\,\mathrm{g}\,\mathrm{CuCl}_2 \)
Step 6 :Percent\ yield: \( \frac{19.3\,\mathrm{g}\,\mathrm{NaCl}}{34.0024\,\mathrm{g}\,\mathrm{NaCl}} \cdot 100 = 56.7568\% \)
