1) If you had not dried the solid, would the calculated percent yield have been higher,
lower, or unchanged? Explain
If the solid was not properly dried, the measured (recorded) mass would be higher than
the true experimental mass. This would introduce an error which will make the percent
yield higher than what should be calculated. Recall that % yield is calculated as follows:




Higher mass, higher yield.
2)Boron trichloride is prepared from the following reaction. 2B2O3 + 6Cl2 + 3C --> 4BCl3
+ 3CO2 . If 3.456g of B2O3 is mixed with 9.9216g of Cl2 and 2.459g of C then answer
the following questions.
2a) What is the theoretical yield of boron trichloride in grams?

Therefore, the limiting reagent is Cl
2
and the theoretical mass of BCl

is 10.930
g.
