Calculating Yield and Percentage Yield in Chemical Reactions

The video tutorial covers the concepts of yield and percentage yield in chemical reactions, using an example of copper oxide reacting with hydrochloric acid to calculate percentage yield. It explains why the actual yield may differ from the theoretical yield. The tutorial also introduces atom economy, comparing two methods of producing copper chloride and calculating their atom economies.

List some possible reasons why the percentage yield might be less than 100%.

What is atom economy and how is it calculated?

Compare the percentage atom economy of the two methods for producing copper chloride.
