The maximum amount of product D that can be produced from the following reaction is 55.75 g.
2A + B �¨ 2C + 3D
Following an experiment based on this reaction, when the D was isolated, 50.67 g of D were obtained. What is the percent yield for this particular experiment?
%yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield)*100 = ?
The theoretical yield is 55.75; 50.67 is what was actually obtained.
50.67 divided into 55.75= .9889
Ans: 90.89%
To calculate the percent yield of a reaction, you need to compare the actual yield (the amount of product obtained) with the theoretical yield (the maximum amount of product that can be produced).
In this case, the maximum amount of product D that can be produced is given as 55.75 g. However, in the experiment, only 50.67 g of D were obtained.
To calculate the percent yield:
1. Divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield:
Actual Yield = 50.67 g
Theoretical Yield = 55.75 g
Percent Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) * 100%
Percent Yield = (50.67 g / 55.75 g) * 100%
2. Calculate the result:
Percent Yield = 0.908 * 100%
Percent Yield ≈ 90.8%
Therefore, the percent yield for this particular experiment is approximately 90.8%.
