Question

The actual yield of a product in a reaction was measured as 1.20 g. If the theoretical yield of the product for the reaction is 1.82 g, what is the percentage yield of the product?
A. 65.9%

B. 67.2%

C. 71.9%

D. 73.3%

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A. 65.9%

Explanation:

Data

actual yield = 1.20 g

theoretical yield = 1.82 g

Formula

percentage yield = $\frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield} x 100$

Substitution

percentage yield = $\frac{1.20}{1.82} x 100$

Simplification and result

percentage yield = 0.6593 x 100

percentage yield = 65.9 %
