Question

What is the percent yield for the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen to produce ammonia, if the theoretical yield was 10.3 g but the actual yield was only 9.8 g ?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical is 10.3 grams. Actual yield of 9.8 grams can be compared to the theoretical 10.3 grams with (Actual/Theoretical)*(100%) to give percent theoretical yield.

(9.8g/10.3g)*(100%) = 91.5% theoretical yield.

Hint: Suggest it was because your lab partner was sloppy.
