(a)
Interpretation:
Theoretical yield for the given reaction needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The theoretical yield is the amount of product formed from the limiting reactant in the reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
The actual yield of the reaction needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Actual yield is the amount of product actually produced from fixed quantities of reactants is known as actual yield of the reaction.
(c)
Interpretation:
The percentage yield of the reaction needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Actual yield is the amount of product actually produced from fixed quantities of reactants is known as actual yield of the reaction.
The theoretical yield is the amount of product formed from the limiting reactant in the reaction.
The Percentage yield is thepercent ratio of actual yield and theoretical yield. It is calculated as follows:
