Question

Consider the balanced chemical reaction below. When the reaction was carried out, the calculated theoretical yield for carbon dioxide was 93.7 grams, but the measured yield was 88.3 grams. What is the percent yield?

Answer 1

Percent Yield = 94.237%

Step-by-step explanation:

CO = Carbon Dioxide = Molar Mass 28g/mol

C = Carbon = 12g/mol

O = Oxygen = 16g/mol

Theoretical yield = 93.7 grams

Actual yield = 88.3 grams

Percent yield = (actual yield /theoretical yield )x100

Percent Yield = (88.3/93.7)x100

Percent Yield = 94.237%
