Answer: 3 Calculate the theoretical yield of the reaction.
1 Write a balanced chemical equation.
5 Check that all significant figures are correct in the calculated value.
2 Determine the limiting reactant in the reaction.
4 Divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiply by 100.
Explanation:
Let´s Check out how to develope the steps
1 Write a balanced chemical equation: This can be made by checking that both sides of the equation have the same number of the atoms .
2 Determine the limiting reactant in the reaction: Let´s calculate how much product you can obtein with one of the reactans and then you calculate how much product you obtein with the other reactant. The reactant that produces a lower number is the limiting reagent.
3 Calculate the theoretical yield of the reaction. When having the amount of product obtenied from the limiting reagent, that is actually the "theoretical yield" assuming the reaction is completed at 100%
4 Divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiply by 100: When dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiply by 100, that is actually the percentage yield.
5 Check that all significant figures are correct in the calculated value.
