Question

1. a reaction has a theoretical yield of 45 grams of product, but the actual yield is 36 grams. what is the percent yield?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall percent yield formula

$\text{Percent Yield} = \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \times 100\%$

Step2: Substitute given values

$\text{Percent Yield} = \frac{36}{45} \times 100\%$

Step3: Calculate the result

$\text{Percent Yield} = 0.8 \times 100\% = 80\%$

Answer:

80% (corresponding to the option: 80%)
