A chemical reaction has a theoretical yield of 709.3 grams. The actual yield is 532 grams. What is the percent yield?

% yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100

% yield = 532/709.3 x 100

% yield = 0.75 x 100

% yield= 75%

The percent yield would be 75%.

This would mean that the reaction was 75% efficient and 25% of the materials did not react or were lost during the reaction to some unknown factor.

Answer:

% yield of anything is always = (actual/theoretical) * 100%

So, Here % yield = (532 g/ 709.3 g) x 100% =75.0 %
