Question

A student formed 25 grams of carbon dioxide through a chemical reaction. If the theoretical yield of carbon dioxide is 30 grams, what is the percent yield of the reaction?

Answer 1

To calculate the percent yield of the reaction, you can use the following formula:Percent Yield =  Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield  x 100In this case, the actual yield is 25 grams, and the theoretical yield is 30 grams. Plugging these values into the formula:Percent Yield =  25 / 30  x 100 = 0.8333 x 100 = 83.33%The percent yield of the reaction is 83.33%.
