Question

Reaction has a theoretical yield of 56.9 g. when the reaction is carried out, 36.6 g of the product is obtained.

Answer 1

The percent yield of the reaction is 64.25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent yield of a chemical reaction is the ratio of the actual yield (the amount of product obtained) to the theoretical yield (the amount of product that could be obtained based on the balanced chemical equation), multiplied by 100. In this case, the theoretical yield is 56.9 g and the actual yield is 36.6 g. To calculate the percent yield, divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiply by 100:

Percent Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) x 100

Percent Yield = (36.6 g / 56.9 g) x 100 = 64.25%

Answer 2

I'm assuming you need to know the percentage yield of the reaction
To calculate the percentage yield = (actual yield x 100%) / predicted yield

actual yield is 56,9 g
predicted yield is 36,6g ( is the amount that's expected if nothing had got lost)

(56,9 x100)/36,6=
= 155%
