Question

In a chemical reaction, substance R reacts with compound XY to produce 47.0 g of compound RX. If the theoretical yield of RX is 56.0 g, what is its percent yield? Use mc018-1.jpg.

Answer 1

Answer:-  Percent yield is 89%.

Solution:- The actual yield is given as 47.0 g and the theoretical yield is given as 56.0 g. The percent yield is calculated by using the formula:

percent yield = $(\frac{actual}{theoretical})100$

Let's plug in the given values in it and do the calculations:

[ercent yield = $(\frac{47.0}{56.0})100$

= 89%

So, the percent yield of the reaction is 89%.
