Question

A student isolated 25 g of a compound following a procedure that would theoratically yield 81 g. Wht was his percentt yield?

Answer 1

Answer: The percent yield of the compound is 30.86 %.

Explanation:

To calculate the percentage yield of a compound, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of compound = 25 g

Theoretical yield of compound = 81 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of compound}=\frac{25g}{81g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of compound}=30.86\%$

Hence, the percent yield of the compound is 30.86 %.
