Percent Yield Worksheet 1
1) Write, predict products and balance the equation for the reaction of iron (III) phosphate with sodium sulfate
to make iron (III) sulfate and sodium phosphate.
a) If I perform this reaction with 25 grams of iron (III) phosphate and an excess of sodium sulfate, how many
grams of iron (III) sulfate can I make?
b) If 18.5 grams of iron (III) sulfate are actually made when I do this reaction, what is my percent yield?
c) Is the answer from problem #3 reasonable? Explain.
d)If I do this reaction with 15 grams of sodium sulfate and get a 65.0% yield, how many grams of sodium
phosphate will I make?

Stoichiometry - Percent Yield Worksheet - Key
1) Write the equation for the reaction of iron (III) phosphate with sodium sulfate to make iron (III) sulfate
and sodium phosphate. 2 FePO4 + 3 Na2SO4 1 Fe2(SO4)3 + 2 Na3PO4
a) If I perform this reaction with 25 grams of iron (III) phosphate and an excess of sodium sulfate, how
many grams of iron (III) sulfate can I make?
25/ = 1/3 = x = 17.2 grams iron (III) sulfate
b) If 18.5 grams of iron (III) sulfate are actually made when I do this reaction, what is my percent yield?
(18.5 / 17.2) x 100% = 108% yield
c) Is the answer from problem #3 reasonable? Explain.
No. Any yield over 100% is a violation of the Law of conservation of mass.
d) If I do this reaction with 15 grams of sodium sulfate and get a 65.0% yield, how many grams of sodium
phosphate will I make?
According to the stoichiometry, the theoretical yield is 11.5 grams. Multiplying this by 0.650, you
get 7.48 grams.
