Question

A student isolated 16 g of a compound following a procedure
that would theoretically yield 39 g. What was his percent yield?​

Answer 1

Answer:

41.03%

Explanation:

From the question;

• Actual yield is 16 g
• Theoretical yield is 39 g

We are required to determine the percent yield

• We need to know that the percent yield is given by;
• % yield = (Actual yield ÷ theoretical yield) × 100

Thus, in this case;

% yield = (16 g ÷ 39 g)× 100

            = 41.03%

Thus, the percent yield is 41.03%
