Question

Which statement is true about percent yield?

Dividing theoretical yield by the actual yield and multiplying by 100 indicates percent yield.

Multiplying the theoretical yield by the actual yield and dividing by 100 indicates the percent yield.

Dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying by 100 indicates percent yield.

Subtracting the actual yield from the theoretical yield and multiplying by 100 indicates percent yield.

Answer 1

Answer: Dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying by 100 indicates percent yield.

Explanation:

We know that the percent yield is the percent ratio of actual yield to the theoretical yield ( since the actual yield is commonly less than the theoretical yield.), then multiply with 100.

Hence, the true statement about percent yield is "Dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiplying by 100 indicates percent yield."
