Question

The theoretical yield of the reaction is calculated as 28.2g naf. 25.9 g naf were recovered after the reaction. What is the percent yield of the reaction?

Answer 1

To find the percent yield, divide the actual yield (25.9 g) by the theoretical yield (28.2 g) and multiply by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent yield of a reaction is calculated by taking the actual yield and dividing it by the theoretical yield, then multiplying by 100. In this question, the theoretical yield of NaF is given as 28.2g, and the actual yield obtained from the reaction was 25.9 g.

To calculate the percent yield:

1. Divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield: 25.9 g / 28.2 g.
2. Multiply the result by 100 to get a percentage.

The percent yield can then be expressed as:

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