What is the percent yield if the quantity of reactants is sufficient to produce 0.86g of
NaCl but only 0.71g is obtained?



Answer :

Taking into account definition of percent yield, the percent yield for the reaction is 82.56%.

Definition of percent yield

The percent yield is the ratio of the actual return to the theoretical return expressed as a percentage.

The percent yield is calculated as the experimental yield divided by the theoretical yield multiplied by 100%:

[tex]percent yield= \frac{actual yield}{theorical yield}x100[/tex]

where the theoretical yield is the amount of product acquired through the complete conversion of all reagents in the final product, that is, it is the maximum amount of product that could be formed from the given amounts of reagents.

Percent yield for the reaction in this case

In this case, you know:

  • actual yield= 0.71 grams
  • theorical yield= 0.86 grams

Replacing in the definition of percent yields:

[tex]percent yield= \frac{0.71 g}{0.86 g}x100[/tex]

Solving:

percent yield= 82.56%

Finally, the percent yield for the reaction is 82.56%.
