A chemical reaction can theoretically produce 137.5 grams of product, but in actuality 112.9 grams are

produced. Which is the percent yield for this reaction?

a. 82.11%

c. 24.60%

b. 62.08%

d. 17.91%

82.11%

Explanation:

We are given;

Theoretical mass of the product is 137.5 g Actual mass of the product is 112.9 g

We are supposed to calculate the percentage yield

We need to know how percentage yield is calculated; To calculate the percentage yield we get the ratio of the actual mass to theoretical mass and express it as a percentage.

Thus;

% yield = (Actual mass : Experimental mass) * 100%

= (112.9 g : 137.5 g) * 100%

= 82.11%

Therefore, the percentage yield of the product is 82.11 %
