Question

Determine the percent yield of MgO for your experiment for each trial(Picture of question included)ive had help on this but im still struggling on the concept

Answer 1

To calculate the percentage of yield we use the following formula:

percent yield = (Actual Yield/Theoretical Yield) x 100%

For trial 1:

actual yield: 0.509

theoretical yield: 0.52

percent yield: (0.509/0.52) x 100%

percent yield: 97.9%

For trial 2:

actual yield: 0.672

theoretical yield: 0.69667

percent yield: (0.672/0..69667) x 100%

percent yield: 96.5%

Answer: Trial 1: 97.9%

Trial 2: 96.5%
