50.0 g of propene reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce 1-chloropropane. Calculate the percentage yield if only 54.0g is made.

STEPS:Write the equation CH3CHCH2 + HCl -> CH3CH2CH2Cl + H2 (where 1-chloropropane made by electrophilic addition reaction)Identify number of moles of propene used. So number of moles is m/ Mr= 50.0g / (1...
