Question

What is the percent yield made if 3.9 grams of a substance were made experimentally while you calculated 3.6 grams of substance using stoichiometry

Answer 1

Percent yield is 108.3%

Explanation:

Percent yield is the ratio of experimental yield and the theoretical yield multiplied by 100.The expression for the percent yield is given as,

Percent yield = $\frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield}\times100$

It is given that the experimental or actual yield is 3.9 g and the theoretical yield calculated using stoichiometry is 3.6 g, then the percent yield is calculated as,

Percent yield = $\frac{3.9}{3.6}\times100 = 108.3$

So the percent yield is 108.3%.
