Question

Calculate the percentage yield in each of the following cases: a. theoretical yield is 50.0 g of product; actual yield is 41.9 g ans: 83.8% yield b. theoretical yield is 290 kg of product; actual yield is 270 kg ans: 93% yield

Answer 1

84%

Step-by-step explanation:

They said that was the correct answer.

Answer 2

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Number 1

theoretical yield = 50 g

actual yield = 41.9 g

Formula

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100

-Substitution

Percent yield = 41.9 / 50 x 100

-Result

Percent yield = 83.8%

Number 2

theoretical yield = 290 kg

actual yield = 270 kg

-Substitution

Percent yield = 270 / 290 x 100

-Result

Percent yield = 93.1 %
