Percent Yields • Theoretical yield: max amount of a product that is formed in a reaction (based on calculations). • Actual yield: amount of product that is actually obtained in a reaction • Usually less than theoretical. Why?
Why? • Theoretical has assumed that all of limiting reagent has completely reacted. • Many reactions do not go to completion • Unexpected competing side reactions limit the formation of products. • Some reactants are lost during the separation process • Impure reactants • Faulty measuring • Poor experimental design or technique
How to calculate? Percent Yield = Actual Yield x 100% Theoretical yield
Practice: HBrO3 + 5HBr 3H2O + 3 Br2 20g of HBrO3 is reacted with excess HBr. • What is the theoretical yield of Br2? • What is the percent yield, if 47.3g is produced?
Practice alone: When 35g of Ba(NO3)2 is reacted with excess Na2SO4, 29.8g of BaSO4 is recovered. Ba(NO3)2 +Na2SO4 BaSO4 + 2NaNO3 • Calculate the theoretical yield of BaSO4 • Calculate the percent yield of BaSO4
