Question

Calculate the percent yield for a reaction if the predicted or theoretical yield is 25.31 g and the actual yield is 22.06 g.

Answer 1

Answer:

                       %age Yield =  87.16 %

Explanation:

                    Percentage yield is the ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield. The actual yield the amount of product obtained after the experiment and the theoretical yield is the amount of ideal product obtained on paper calculations. The actual yield is almost always less than the theoretical yield due to chemical reaction problems, or handling problems.

Given Data:

                 Theoretical Yield  =  25.31 g

                  Actual Yield  =  22.06 g

                  %age Yield  =  ?

Formula Used:

                   %age Yield  =  (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100

Putting Values,

                   %age Yield  =  (22.06 g ÷ 25.31 g) × 100

                   %age Yield =  87.16 %
