1.2. Mr of known and unknown substance.
Ar of Mg = 24 | Mr of MgSO₄ = 120

1.3. Moles of known substance.
Moles (mol) = 48g ÷ 24 = 2 mol

1.4. Mole of unknown from ratio.
Ratio = 1:1 | Moles (mol) = 2 mol

1.5. Mass of unknown.
Mass (g) = 2 mol × 120 = 240 g

Step 2:
Percentage yield = 150g ÷ 240g = 0.625 × 100 = 62.5%

  • Number of moles (mol) = mass (g) ÷ relative formula mass or Mr
  • % yield = 100 (actual mass ÷ predicted mass)
