Question

What is the percent yield of a reaction if 5.5 grams of product were obtained from the reaction of 7.8 grams of reactant and the theoretical yield of the product is 9.2 grams?

Answer 1

The percent yield of a reaction can be calculated using the following formula:Percent Yield =  Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield  x 100In this case, the actual yield is 5.5 grams, and the theoretical yield is 9.2 grams. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:Percent Yield =  5.5 / 9.2  x 100Percent Yield = 0.5978 x 100Percent Yield  59.78%So, the percent yield of the reaction is approximately 59.78%.
