Moles of NaHCO3 = 84.01 g / 84.01 g/mol = 1 mol Moles of HCl = 36.46 g / 36.46 g/mol = 1 mol
From the balanced equation, we see that 1 mole of NaHCO3 reacts with 1 mole of HCl to produce 1 mole of NaCl. Therefore, the theoretical yield of NaCl is also 1 mole.
Mass of theoretical yield of NaCl = 1 mol - 58.44 g/mol = 58.44 g
Step 2: Calculate the percentage yield
Percentage yield = (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) x 100%
Actual yield = 58.44 g Theoretical yield = 58.44 g
Percentage yield = (58.44 g / 58.44 g) x 100% = 100%
