Solution

The correct option is A 72 %
The complete balanced equation is:
$12 C l_{2} + 24 K O H \to 21 K C l + 3 K C l O_{4} + 12 H_{2} O$

12 moles of chlorine gives 3 moles of perchlorate.
2 moles of chlorine gives 0.5 moles of perchlorate.
Theoretical yield of perchlorate = 0.5 mole = 69.25 g
Experimental yield of perchlorate = 50 g
Percentage yield of perchlorate = $\frac{experimental yield}{theoretical yield} \times 100$ = $\frac{50 \times 100}{69.25} = 72$ %
