Question

A reacton has a theoretical yield of 22.8g. When the reaction was carried out, 15.1g of the product was obtained. What is the percent yield?

Answer 1

The  percentage  yield  is   calculated  as  follows
 Taking   the  mass  of  product  obtained   divided  by  mass theoretical  yield  multiplied  by  100
mass Theoretical yield= 22.8g
mass  of  the  product=  15.1g
percentage   yield=  15.1g/22.8g x100=  66.23%

Answer 2

Answer:

The percent yield is 66.23%

Explanation:

The percent yield is the relation between the yield estimated theoreticaly and the actual yield obtained:

$P=\frac{y_{real}}{y_{theo}}*100$

$P=\frac{15.1g}{22.8g}*100$

$P=66.23$
