• Enter a number only; do not spell
• Include the correct number of significant figures for your answer

Answer: % yield

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%

actual yield = 21.47 g

theoretical yield = 65.45 g

% yield = (21.47 g / 65.45 g) x 100%

% yield = 32.80%

Therefore, the student obtained a percent yield of 32.80%.
