Ron weasley isn't the best experimentalist. after an experiment he ends up with only 3.10 g of product. however, the same reaction has is a theoretical yield of 3.50 grams of product. what is the percent yield?
The experiment should theoretically yield 3.50 g of the product. However during the experiment it can yield only 3.10 g of the product. actual yield is lesser than the theoretical yield, therefore we need to find the percentage yield. Percentage yield can be calculated using the following equation [tex] Percent yield = \frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield} * 100%[/tex] Percent yield = 3.10 g / 3.50 g x 100% = 88.6%
