Chapter 3, Problem 3.114QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The overall percent yield of a reaction having $24$ steps with $80\%$ yield at each step has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Theoretical yield:

The amount of product forms when all the limiting reactant completely reacts in a reaction is known as theoretical yield.

Percent yield:

The percentage of ratio of actual yield to that of theoretical yield is known as percent yield.

    $\text{percent yield=}\text{}\frac{\text{actual yield}}{\text{theoretical yield}}\text{×100\%}$
