Percent yield is simply the ratio of the actual amount produced over the theoretical amount that can be produced. In this case that would be:
percent yield = actual amount / theoretical amount
percent yield = (14.5 g / 22.0 g) * 100%
percent yield = 65.91%
Answer: 65.9 %
Explanation:
The formula for calculating percentage yield is:
Percentage yield = [tex]\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100[/tex]
Given : Experimental yield = 14.5 g
Theoretical yield = 22.0 g
Putting in the values we get:
Percentage yield = [tex]\frac{14.5}{22.0}\times 100=65.9\%[/tex]
Therefore, the percentage yield is 65.9 %.
