Two successive reactions, D-->E and E-->F, have yields of 48% and 73%, respectively, What is the overall percent yield for conversation of D to F?
(0.48 x 0.73)*100 =
35.04%
Try to take the square root of both sides of the equation, and you'll get sqrt(16^2) = 16
If 57.4 g of ethanol yields 25.8 g of diethyl ether, what is the percent yield of diethyl ether?
To find the overall percent yield for the conversion of D to F, we need to multiply the individual yields of the successive reactions.
Given that the yield for the first reaction (D --> E) is 48%, and the yield for the second reaction (E --> F) is 73%, we can calculate the overall yield as follows:
Overall Yield = Yield of Reaction D --> E * Yield of Reaction E --> F
Overall Yield = 48% * 73%
To multiply these percentages, we convert them to decimal form by dividing each value by 100:
Overall Yield = 0.48 * 0.73
Now we can calculate the overall yield:
Overall Yield = 0.3504
Finally, we convert this back to a percentage:
Overall Percent Yield ≈ 35.04%
Therefore, the overall percent yield for the conversion of D to F is approximately 35.04%.
