Percentage Yield and Reversible Reactions Flashcards
What does percentage yield tell us?
The overall success of an experiment.
What does percentage yield compare?
Predicted yield with actual yield.
The amount of product you get is known as what?
The yield.
The more reactants you start with higher the…
Actual yield.
The percentage yield doesn’t depend on what?
The amount of reactants you start with.
The predicted yield of a reaction can be calculated from what?
The balanced reaction equation.
What is the percentage yield formula?
Actual yield divided by predicted yield.
Then
Times by 100.
What is the predicted yield sometimes called?
Theoretical yield.
Percentage yield is always between what?
0 - 100%.
What does a 100% yield mean?
You get all the product expected to get.
What does a 0% yield mean?
No reactants converted into a product.
Yields are always less than…
100%.
No atoms are what in reactions?
Are gained or lost.
Some reactant or product is what along the way?
Lost.
What is a reversible reaction?
It is where the products of the reaction can themselves react to produce the original reactants.
