Chapter 9, Problem 65APP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : The percent yield of ${\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}$ should be calculated.

Concept Introduction : The actual yield of the product is the amount of product which is formed at the end of reaction experimentally whereas theoretical yield represents the amount of product calculated by expecting that 100 % of reactant changes to product. The percent yield can be shown as:

  $\text{Percent yield = }\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\text{x 100}$
