how to calculate percent yield of salicylic acid. I know the percent yield is equal to the mass of actual yield divided by the theoretical yield and is multiplied by 100. To do this you need a balanced chemical equation.
Yield ActualYield TheoreticalYield 100 Y i e l d A c t u a l Y i e l d T h e o. Calculating the limiting reagent is necessary as it is the one that determines when the reaction in question stops. After determining the limiting reagent which is identified as salicylic acid in this case and the yield of the product can be calculated based on this.
Mass of aspirin 219 g.
My yield for the production of Salicylic Acid was 569. Find the molar mass of aspirin and salicylic acid. We do this by dividing the mass 577 grams by the molar mass of salicylic acid 138121 gmol. 296 X 100 795 372.
