Question

Which of the following reactions had the greatest percent yield?

a.Theoretical yield 52.3 g; actual yield 50.7g
b.Theoretical yield 17.1 g; actual yield 15.7g
c.Theoretical yield 38.8 g; actual yield 36.2 g
d.Theoretical yield 24.6 g; actual yield 22.5 g

Answer 1

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know

Percent yield is the ratio of actual yield/theoretical yield

a) Percent yield - Theoretical yield 52.3 g; actual yield 50.7g = 0.97 = 97%

b) Percent Yield - Theoretical yield 17.1 g; actual yield 15.7g = 92%

c) Percent Yield - Theoretical yield 38.8 g; actual yield 36.2 g = 93%

d) Percent Yield - Theoretical yield 24.6 g; actual yield 22.5 g = 91%

Hence option A is correct
