Calculating your percent yield based on your amount of reactants is a very important concept in chemistry. There's a little math involved, but it's something we have to be able to track for many reasons, including but not limited to cost, safety, and time. Regarding the concept of limiting reactant and percent yield, which of these choices are NOT true? percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100% The theoretical yield is the amount of product that can be made based on the amount of limiting reactant. The limiting reactant is completely consumed in a chemical reaction. The actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by a chemical reaction. All of the above are true statements.

A chemist goes into the lab and performs an experiment in which a mixture of 8.47 grams of Zn and 6.03 g of sulfur are reacted. Before starting the experiment they perform the following calculations to predict the maximum (theoretical) yield of zinc sulfide that could be produced. They obtain an actual yield of 8.25 grams of zinc sulfide. Calculate their percent yield to one decimal place.
[Tutorial: Limiting reactant stoichiometry] This question will walk you through the steps of calculating the mass of products produced based on your determination of the limiting reactant. Step 3: Determine the limiting reactant. You have determined complete reaction of 64.7 g aluminum (Al) would give a theoretical yield of 122 g aluminum oxide (Al2O3), whereas complete reaction of 201 g iron (III) oxide (Fe203) would give a theoretical yield of 128 g aluminum oxide (Al203). Which of the following substances is the limiting reactant? A) aluminum (AI) B) iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) C) aluminum oxide (Al2O3) D) iron (Fe)
