Percentage Yield of a Reaction Day 4 Flashcards
1
Q
What is Theoretical Yield?
A
Is the mass of product predicted by stoichiometric calculations.
2
Q
What is Actual Yield?
A
Is the mass of product actually produced when a chemical reaction is carried out.
3
Q
What is Percentage Yield?
A
Is the actual yield divided by the theoretical yield, multiplied by 100%.
4
Q
What is Catalyst?
A
Is a substance that speeds up a reaction and does not take part in the reaction.
5
Q
How do you calculate Percentage Yield?
A
You can calculate Percentage Yield by Percentage Yield = Actual Yield divided by Theoretical Yield.
