Percent Yield What you get compared to what you should get
How to solve for Percent Yield • Balance the given equation… Rock on, we love to balance!!! • Set up a “grams” to “grams” Stoichiometry problem a. start with grams of reactant b. go to grams of product
How to solve for Percent Yield (cont.) • Your Answer = Theoretical Yield • Theoretical Yield = how much should be made • You will be given the actual yield (how much was made) • To determine percent yield: Percent Yield = Actual Yield x 100 Theoretical Yield
