Answer:

B. The amount of produd obtained/amount possible * 100

Step-by-step explanation:

In chemistry, the yield of a chemical reaction is the quantity or amount of products obtained in that chemical reaction. It is calculated by using the following formula:

Percentage yield = Actual yield/theoretical yield × 100

- The actual yield is the amount of products got from a chemical reaction

- The theoretical yield is the amount of product got from using the balanced equation (stoichiometry).
