QUESTION:

If the theoretical yield of a reaction is 0.118 g and the actual yield is 0.104 g, what is the percent yield?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

In a chemical reaction, the actual yield refers to the amount of product that is actually obtained from the reaction, typically measured in grams, moles, or another appropriate unit of quantity.

Theoretical yield is calculated using stoichiometry. which involves determining the molar ratios of reactants and products based on the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation.

The percent yield. on the other hand. is a measure of the efficiency of a chemical reaction and is calculated as the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield. expressed as a percentage.

The formula for percent yield is
