Percent Yield Flashcards
1
Q
a reason that most chemical reactions do not produce the predicted amount of product?
A
competing reactions
adherence to container surfaces
loss during purification
2
Q
The calculated amount of product, given an amount of reactant, is known as which of the following?
A
theoretical yield
3
Q
percent yield?
A
It is the actual yield divided by the theoretical yield multiplied by 100.
3
Q
The actual amount of product produced when a chemical reaction is carried out is known as which of the following?
A
actual yield
4
Q
to find theoretical yield
A
- convert mass to mol
- mol of unknown / mol of given x give
convert mol to mass
5
Q
percent yield =
A
actual / theoretical x 100
