Question

how do you calculate percent yield?
a. by adding the actual yield to the theoretical yield
b. by dividing the theoretical yield by the actual yield
c. by dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying by 100
d. by subtracting the theoretical yield from the actual yield

Explanation:

Step1: Recall percent - yield formula

Percent yield is calculated using the ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.
The formula for percent yield is $\text{Percent Yield}=\frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}}\times100\%$.

Answer:

C. By dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying by 100
