Question

Consider the balanced chemical reaction below. When the reaction was carried out, the calculated theoretical yield for carbon dioxide was 93.7 grams, but the measured yield was 88.3 grams. What is the percent yield?
Fe2O3 + 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO2

Answer 1

Answer:94.23

Explanation:

Hope it helps

Answer 2

The percent yield represents that the efficiency of a reaction.

It represents how much times we have achieved the target yield from a particular reaction

The relation between theoretical yield, measured yield and percent yield is

percent yield = $\frac{measuredyieldX100}{theoreticalyield}$

for the given reaction

percent yield = $\frac{88.3X100}{93.7}=94.23$%

Answer: 94.23%
