Answer:

90%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage yield = ?

Theoretical yield = 50g

Actual yield = 45g

To calculate the percentage yield of a compound, we'll have to use the formula of percentage yield which is the ratio between the actual yield to theoretical multiplied by 100

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100

Percentage yield = (45 / 50) × 100

Percentage yield = 0.9 × 100

Percentage yield = 90%

The percentage yield of the substance is 90%
