Question

The actual yield of a product in a reaction was measured as 4.20 g. If the theoretical yield of the product for the reaction is 4.88 g, what is the percentage yield of the product?
82.6%
84.2%
86.1%
88.0%

Answer 1

Answer:

86.1%

Explanation:

Percent yield = actual yield/ theoretical yield x 100

Percent yield is the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield  

Given,  

Actual yield = 4.20 g

Theoretical yield = 4.88 g  

Percent yield =$\frac{4.20 g x 100}{4.88 g}$ = 86%

Answer 2

$\frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield}*100$

$\frac{4.20}{4.88}*100$

86.1%
