Percent Yield Flashcards
(5 cards)
1
Q
What is percent yield
A
Percent yield is a measure of how much product was obtained when a chemical reaction was performed
2
Q
What does 100% yield mean
A
100% yield means that the lab went perfectly, and no product was lost
3
Q
What is theoretical yield
A
the amount of product that you solve for is the amount of product you would get (in theory!) if the reaction ran at 100% efficiency
4
Q
What is actual yield
A
The ACTUAL YIELD is the amount of product that is collected when the lab is physically done
5
Q
Percent yield formula
A
actual / theoretical x 100%
