Question

A chimical reaction is supposed to produce 1.44 g of product X. When the reaction is carried out, only 1.31 g of product X are formed. What is the percenr error in the yield of the reaction?

Answer 1

$[percent] {error} = abs ( \frac{#experemental - theoretical}{theoretical}) *100=$

=$=abs( \frac{1.31-1.44}{1.44} )*100 = 9.03$

Answer is 9.03%.
