(C=12.01g/mol; H=1.008g/mol; S=32.07g/mol; O=16.00g/mol)
Black smokers are found in the depths of the oceans. Thinking that the conditions
in these smokers might be conducive to the formation of organic compounds, two
chemists in Germany found the following reaction could occur in similar conditions.
2CH3SH + CO → CH3COSCH3 + H₂S
If you begin with 18.21 g of CH3SH and excess CO,
What is the theoretical yield of CH3COSCH3?
If 2.043 g of CH3COSCH3 is isolated, what is its percent yield?
