Percentage YieldEasyQuestion 600024

Question

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100. If theoretical yield is 20 g and actual yield is 15 g, % yield is:
  1. A
    75%
    Correct
  2. B
    25%
  3. C
    133%
  4. D
    60%

Correct answer

75%

Explanation

%yield = (15/20) × 100 = 75%. A 100% yield is ideal but rarely achieved due to side reactions, incomplete reaction, and losses.
