Question

In a reaction to produce sulfuric acid, the theoretical yield is 300 g. What is the percent yield if the actual yield is 280 g?

Answer 1

\[percent yield = \frac{ actual yield }{ theoretical yield }\]

Answer 2

times 100%, sorry.

Answer 3

I think it's more proper to use the amount of moles instead of the mass, but you'll get the same answer.

Answer 4

280 g / 300 g = 0.933 = 93.3 %
