ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
Here, we are going to determine the percent of yield of the product.
The percent yield is calculated as follows:
-------(1)
The actual yield is defined as the amount of product actually produced by a chemical reaction.
The theoretical yield is defined as the amount of product that can be made in a chemical
reaction based on the amount of limiting reactant.
