Question

A reaction was predicted to produce 32.4 grams of a compound. When the product was measured, there were

only 26.1 grams made. What is the percent yield of this reaction?
a. 80.6%
c. 24.1%
b. 6.3%
d. 58.5%​

Answer 1

A) 80.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Theoretical yield = 32.4 g

Percentage yield = ?

Actual yield = 26.1 g

Solution:

Formula:

Percentage yield = Actual yield /theoretical yield × 100

Percentage yield = 26.1 / 32.4 g× 100

Percentage yield = 0.806 × 100

Percentage yield = 80.6%
