if the theoretical yield for a reaction is 156 grams and you actually made 122 grams of the product, what is your percent yield?
The formula actual yield /
theoretical yield is used to calculate the percent yield of a reaction.
This value is a measure of how much product is produced relative to the what is
supposed to be produced. It can be associated with efficiency. However,
this value is specific for process which produces something like a
chemical reaction.
yield = (122 g / 156 g) x 100
% yield = 78.21%
