Percentage Yield Compares Actual and Theoretical Yield Flashcards
1
Q
The more reactant you start with…
A
The higher the yield will be
2
Q
What doesn’t the percentage yield depend on?
A
Doesn’t depend on amount of reactants you started with
3
Q
How can the theoretical yield of a reaction be calculated?
A
From the balanced equation
4
Q
Formula for percentage yield?
A
Percentage yield = actual yield (g)
—————— X 100
theoretical yield (g)
5
Q
What is percentage yield always between?
A
0 to 100%
6
Q
What does a 100% yield mean?
A
You got all the product you expected to get
7
Q
What does a 0% yield mean?
A
No reactants were converted into product I.e no product at all was made
