Question

After performing an experiment in the lab, Michelle finds that she has produced 15.6 g of compound. She calculated that the theoretical yield of her reaction was 17 g. What percent yield did Michelle achieve?

a) 109%
b) 91.8%
c) 8.2%
d) 0.918%

Answer 1

109% because it is the right answer

Answer 2

b

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage yield = mass of what is produced ÷ theoretical yield x 100

percentage yield = 15.6÷17=0.9176470588235

x 100 = 91.76

this rounds to 91.8%, so the answer is b. :)
