Chapter 11.4, Problem 33SSC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Percent yield needs to be explained.

Concept introduction − An actual yield is the mass of a product actually obtained from the reaction. It is usually less than the theoretical yield.

Answer to Problem 33SSC

Percent yield is the ration of actual yield to the theoretical yield.

Explanation of Solution

Percent yield is the ration of actual yield to the theoretical yield.

$\text{Percent yield = }\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoratical yield}}\times 100\%$

A product actually obtained from the reaction is an actual yield of mass. It is usually less than the theoretical yield.

Conclusion

Percent yield is the ration of actual yield to the theoretical yield.
