Question

a chemical reaction can theoretically produce 137.5 grams of product, but in actuality 112.9 grams are produced. which is the percent yield for this reaction?

Answer 1

To find the percent yield, you need to divide the actual yield of 112.9 grams by the theoretical yield of 137.5 grams, and then multiply by 100:

Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100
Percent yield = (112.9 / 137.5) * 100
Percent yield = 82.0%

So the percent yield of the reaction is 82.0%.
