Percentage Yield

The video tutorial explains the concept of percentage yield, which measures the efficiency of a chemical reaction by comparing the actual yield to the theoretical yield. It provides examples using ethene and ethanol, as well as moles in the production of aspirin, to demonstrate how to calculate percentage yield. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of maximizing reaction efficiency in industrial processes and concludes with a summary of key learning outcomes.

What factors can lead to a lower actual yield compared to the theoretical yield?

What does a percentage yield of 98% indicate about the efficiency of a reaction?
