A 0.5566-g sample containing CuCl2 . 2H2O (MW = 170.47) was dissolved in 25.00 mL of water. About 25.00 mL of a 10% aqueaous solution of thioacetamide was added to the solution and heated. The black CuS precipitate formed upon heating the solution was filtered, dried, and weighed. If the precipitate was found to weigh 0.2074 g, calulate the percentage of CuCl2 . 2H2O in the sample.
given sample wt = 0.5566g
after treatment with thioacetamide black CuS is ppted, &found 0.2074g
% yield = amount produced exptlly / amount for 100% yield * 100
= 0.2074 /0.5566 * 100
= 37.26%
