Percent Yield

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%

In a lab, a scientist calculate he should produce 12.3 grams of product in his experiment. When he is finished collecting his product it weighs 10.1 grams. What is his percent yield?

• 82%
• 0.82%
• 10.1 %
• 100%

What does percent yield indicate?

• The amount of product we should get
• The efficiency of the lab
• The amount of product we actually got
• nothing

Which of the following do you get through measuring its mass? (No calculations)

• percent yield
• theoretical yield
• actual yield
• limiting reagent
