Will mark branliest. Calculating percent yield: For the reaction Cu + 2AgNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag, adding 127 grams of copper to lots of silver nitrate yields 410 grams of silver. What is the percent yield of silver?

I'm desperate.

Percent yield = (Actual Yield/ Theoretical Yield) x 100

Given, Actual Yield of silver = 410 grams

Given, mass of copper = 127 g

Atomic mass of copper = 63.546 amu

Formula: Moles = mass / atomic mass

Moles of copper = 127 g/ 63.546 amu = 1.998 mol

Based on the given balanced chemical reaction, the molar ratio between Cu: Ag is 1:2

So 1.998 mol of copper should yield (2 mol Ag/ 1 mol Cu) x 1.998 mol of Cu = 3.996 mol

Calculated mol of Ag = 3.996 mol

Atomic mass of silver = 107.8682 amu

Mass of silver = moles x atomic mass = 3.996 mol x 107.8682 amu = 431 g

Based on the math, the theoretical yield = 431 g

Percent yield of silver = (410g/431g) x 100 = 95. 13%

The answer is 95. 13%
