Consider the balanced chemical reaction below. When the reaction was carried out, the calculated theoretical yield for water was 176 grams, but the measured yield was 148 grams. What is the percent yield?

Answer;

= 84.09 %

Explanation;

Percent yield represents the ratio between what is experimentally obtained and what is theoretically calculated, multiplied by 100%.

Percentage Yield = actual yield/theoretical yield * 100%

= 148 g/176 g * 100%

= 84.09 %

If the percent yield is 100%, the actual yield will be equal to the theoretical yield.
