This is a whiteboard animation tutorial that demonstrates how to identify the actual yield of a chemical reaction and how to calculate the theoretical yield. Chemistry Journal 506 Percent Yield Driving Question. You determine percent yield of a chemical reaction with the following formula.
The formula for percent yield is percent yield 100 x absolute value actual yield predicted yield.
Percent yield latexfrac180g246gtimes 100 latex percent yield 732. Percent yield actual yield theoretical yield The actual yield is a product that is obtained by experimentation. Chemists have to be concerned with just how completely their reactants react to form products. To express the efficiency of a reaction you can calculate the percent yield using this formula.
