Question

A student performs a reaction that makes aluminum oxide. According to her calculations, she should expect to make 115.2 grams. She actually produces 66.9 grams. What is her percent yield?

Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage of the student is 58.17%.

Explanation:

Expected yield of aluminum oxide = 115.2 g

Actual yield of aluminum oxide produced =66.9 g

The percentage yield is calculated by dividing actual yield by expected yield and then multiplying it with hundred.

Percentage yield:

$\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Expected yield}}\times 100$

$\% Yield=\frac{66.9 g}{115.2 g}\times 100=58.17\%$

The percentage of the student is 58.17%.
