Question

If the theoretical yield of the reaction above corresponds to 99.2g and the actual yield was 60.9 g, calculate the percent yield.

Answer 1

Answer:

61.4 %

Explanation:

Let's consider a generic chemical reaction.

Reactants ⇒ Products

The theoretical yield is the maximum mass of product that theoretically can be obtained from the chemical reaction.

The actual yield is the mass of the product obtained from the reaction.

The percent yield is:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100%

Percent yield = 60.9 g / 99.2 g × 100% = 61.4 %
