Question

Consider the balanced chemical reaction below. when the reaction was carried out, the calculated theoretical yield for iron was 365 grams, but the measurement yield was 278 grams. What is the percent yield?

Fe2O3 + 3CO —> 2Fe + 3CO2

Answer 1

76.16%

Step-by-step explanation:

I know answer is correct because I got the exact same question :)

Answer 2

≈ 76.16%

Step-by-step explanation:

What is Percent Yield? In chemistry, percent yield is the percent ratio of the weight of the product obtained to the theoretical yield. We calculate the percent yield by dividing the experimental yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying the result by 100 to express the final answer in %.


`(actual)/(theoretical) (100)=percentyield` ⇒
`(278)/(365) (100)=76.1643835616`

≈ 76.16%

hope this helped :)
