Question

A student sets up a reaction and calculates a possible yield of 55.9g of silver. If the student preforms the reaction and the mass of actual silver obtained is 42.5g, what is the percent yield?

Answer 1

76.0 %

Step-by-step explanation:

% yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) × 100 %

Data:

Actual yield = 42.5 g

Theoretical yield = 55.9 g

Calculation:

% yield = (42.5 g/55.9 g) × 100 %

% yield = 76.0 %
