Topic 14: Stoichiometry Calculations, Video D: Percent Yield Calculations Flashcards
1
Q
What is the theoretical yield?
A
The maximum possible yield. (100 % yield)
2
Q
How do you calculate percent yield?
A
Actual yield (g) / theoretical yield (g) x 100
3
Q
What is the reaction yield?
A
The amount of product that is or can be produced from a chemical equation.
4
Q
What is the actual yield?
A
The mass of the product that you actually produce by doing a chemical reaction in the lab.
5
Q
What is the theoretical yield?
A
The mass of product that you predict based on stoichiometric calculations, the largest possible yield for a reaction.
6
Q
What is the percentage yield?
A
The percentage ratio of the mass you actually make vs the mass you predict based on calculation.
