Question:

A: Formaldehyde, CH2O, can be made from methanol by the following reaction, using a copper catalyst. 

CH3OH(g) → CH2O(g) + H2(g)

If 25.7 g CH2O(g) is produced per mole of methanol that reacts, what are 

(a) The theoretical yield; 

(b) The actual yield; and 

(c) The percent yield?

(B) What is the percent yield if the reaction of 25.0 g P4 and 91.5 g Cl2 produces 104 g PCl3? The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is given below.

P4(s) + 6 Cl2(g) → 4 PCl3(l)
