Question

if the theoretical yield of a reaction is 26.0 grams and you actually recovered 22.0 grams what is the precent yield

Answer 1

Percentage Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100  

∴ if theoretical yield is 26 g, but only 22.0 is recovered from the reaction, 
then Percentage Yield = (22 g ÷ 26 g) × 100  
                                       =  84.6 %
