Question

A student predicted the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen gas would yield 125 of water. However, after measuring the water formed in the reaction, student determined that only 110 of water was actually formed. What is the percent yield of this reaction ?

Help

Answer 1

Percentage yield= (actual/theoretical)x100

So in this case the actual yield is 110 and the theoretical yield is 125.

So you would do =(110/125)x100
So the answer would be =88%
