Question

In the synthesis of hexaaminenickel (II) chloride as in the equation below, a student weighed 3.893 g of Nickel(II) Chloride Hexahydrate, dissolved it in water and reacted it with an excess of concentrated ammonia solution. She isolated 2.468 g of the desired product.

Nickel(II) Chloride Hexahydrate   +   6 NH3   →    hexaaminenickel (II) chloride   +   6 H2O

(Note: The molar mass of Nickel(II) Chloride Hexahydrate is 237.7 g/mol and the molar mass of the hexaaminenickel (II) chloride is 231.7 g/mol.)

Calculate the percent yield of the reaction.
