Question

practice: percent yield
show all work for each problem below. the questions will get progressively more challenging!

1. a reaction with a theoretical yield of 3.12 g actually produces 2.75 g of product. what is the percent yield for this reaction?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall percent - yield formula

Percent yield = $\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times100\%$

Step2: Substitute given values

Actual yield = 2.75 g, Theoretical yield = 3.12 g. So, Percent yield = $\frac{2.75}{3.12}\times100\%$

Step3: Calculate the result

$\frac{2.75}{3.12}\times100\%\approx88.14\%$

Answer:

88.14%
