Question- I was doing an experiment and I started off with 12 grams of (CoCl2-6H20) and I produced 6.0282 grams of [Co(NH3)6]Cl3. So for my present yield I did
12.0 G Cocl2/ 129.839 mol Cocl2=0.09242 mol C02+ used
6.0282 g [Co(NH3)6]Cl3/ 215.5856 g/ mol [Co(NH3)6]Cl3= 0.02796 Co3+ recovered
% yield = 0.02796/ 0.09242 *100= 30.3 % is this correct?
As well for converting the CoCl2 to mol must I utilize the molar weight of CoCl2-6H2O or just the molar weight of CoCl2?
