The ______________ yield is the maximum amount of product possible in a reaction. This determines the amount of product that should be produced in a perfect setting

• Percent
• actual
• stoichiometry
• theoretical

When reacting Na with Cl₂, we calculated that the theoretical yield should be 13 grams. Our actual yield was 12.5 grams. What is the percent yield?

• 90.4%

• 104%

• 96.15%

• 1.04%
