Question

A chemical reaction can theoretically produce 137. 5 grams of product, but in actuality 112. 9 grams are produced. Which is the percent yield for this reaction?.

Answer 1

The formula for percent yield is:

(experimental ÷ theoretical) × 100%

Simply input the numbers into this formula and you will get your answer.

percent yield = (112.9 ÷ 137.5) × 100%

percent yield = 82.10909091 (round as you wish)

percent yield = 82.11%
