Question

Calculate the percent yield of a reaction where a student collected 16.8 grams of product and was expecting to collect 49.7 grams of product.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{33.8 \%}}$

Explanation:

$\text{\% yield} = \dfrac{\text{actual yield}}{\text {theoretical yield}} \times\text{100 \%}$

Data:

        Actual yield = 16.8 g

Theoretical yield = 49.7 g

Calculation:

$\text{\% yield} = \dfrac{\text{16.8 g}}{\text {49.7 g}} \times\text{100 \%} = \boxed{\textbf{33.8 \%}}$
