Question

What is the percent yield for the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen to produce ammonia, if the theoretical yield was 12.5 g but the actual yield was only 10.2 g?123%12.5%81.6%10.2%

Answer 1

We could use the equation:

So, what we need to do is to divide the actual yield and the theoretical yield. Then multiply by 100%.

Doing this, we have:

Percent yield = 10.2g / 12.5g * 100%

Which is equal to 81.6%.

Therefore, the answer is 81.6%
