Question

If you obtain 3.0 grams of aspirin from an experiment that could make no more than 3.14 grams, what is the percent yield?

87%
105%
96%
92%

Answer 1

Answer:

96%

Explanation:

To find the percent yield, we can use this equation

$\frac{Actual}{Theoretical} *100$

The actual yield of aspirin is 3.0 and the theoretical is 3.14 in this case, so just plug the numbers in.

$\frac{3.0}{3.14} *100\\\\ =96$

Thus the percent yield is 96%
