1
Q
What is the yield of a chemical reaction?
A
The mass of the desired products made in a reaction
2
Q
What is the theoretical yield of a chemical reaction?
A
The maximum possible mass of the desired products that you can make from a given mass of the reactants
3
Q
How do you find the theoretical yield?
A
You need to use the limiting reaction the molar masses and the balance equation
4
Q
What is the actual yield?
A
The mass of the desired products that you actually make
5
Q
What is the percentage yield?
A
The amount of the desired product made compared to the theoretical yield
6
