Question

The theoretical yield for a reaction is 55.9 g LiCl. The actual yield is 24.6 g LiCl. What is the percent yield of the reaction?



Question options:

227%


44%


25%


56%

Answer 1

In chemical reactions, the actual yield is not the same as the expected yield . Actual yield is lower than the theoretical yield . Then we have to find the yield percentage. To see what percentage of the theoretical yield is the actual yield.
Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%
Percent yield = 24.6/55.9 x100%
Percent yield = 44%

Answer 2

Ansewr is 44%.
As we know,

%age yield = $\frac{Actual Yield}{Theoretical Yield}$ × 100

%age Yield = $\frac{24.6}{55.9}$ × 100

%age Yield = 44.00%
