No way!! Do you think that in the chemistry lab that we always get the amount of product that we calculate?
% Yield actual amount of a product expressed as a % of the theoretical amount of that substance
Terms: Theoretical yield: The amount of product predicted by stoichiometry. Actual yield: The amount of product produced through experimenting. Percentage yield:
Example # 1 HBrO3(aq) + 5HBr(aq) → 3H2O(l) + 3Br2(aq) 20.0g of HBrO3 is reacted with excess HBr. • What is the theoretical yield of Br2 for this reaction? • If 47.3g of Br2 is produced, what is the percentage yield for Br2? Answers: • 74.4 g • 63.6%
Example # 2 Using Hg(NO3)2(aq) + Na2S(aq) →HgS(s) + 2NaNO3 (aq), If 3.45x1023 molecules of Hg(NO3)2 are reacted with excess Na2S, what mass of HgS can be expected if this process occurs with 97.0% yield? Answer: 129g
Using Percent Yield • Application of Percentage Yield • Very important for chemical engineers who must produce large quantities of product. • An increase in percentage yield can result in increased profits. • Percentage Purity • Typically applied to pharmaceuticals and the mining industry.
What do your numbers mean? • A percentage yield less than 100% means • Other side reactions are happening at the same time that are not expected. • Decomposition of reactants or unreacted reactants = Realistic • A percentage yield greater than 100%: • You have created matter (impossible) = Experimental error
