Question

Round answers to 1 decimal place. Jason's lab yields 11.7g of product, but his calculations say he should have 71.4g. What is Jason's percent yield?

Answer 1

Jason's percent yield can be calculated using the formula:

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

• where actual yield is the yield he obtained in the lab, and theoretical yield is the yield he expected based on his calculations.

• Substituting the given values, we get:

percent yield = (11.7 g / 71.4 g) x 100% = 16.4%

Therefore, Jason's percent yield is 16.4%.
