how to calculate how much acetic acid should be theoretically yielded from a process that is 75% efficient and actually yields 500.0 ml (Assume the Density of acetic acid = 1.05 g/ml)

You can use this equation: yield%=(actual yield)/(theoretical yield)

Subbing the values in:

0.75=500/theoretical yield

theoretical yield=666.67mL
