Question

calculate the percent yield for each chemical reaction based on the data provided
a. theoretical yield ;25g;actual yield: 20 g

Answer 1

To calculate the percent yield for a chemical reaction, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Percent Yield} = \left( \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \right) \times 100
\]

Given the values:
- Theoretical Yield = 25 g
- Actual Yield = 20 g

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Percent Yield} = \left( \frac{20 \, \text{g}}{25 \, \text{g}} \right) \times 100
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
\text{Percent Yield} = \left( 0.8 \right) \times 100 = 80\%
\]

So, the percent yield for the reaction is **80%**.
