Choose the correct relation about the percent yield. It is equal to:

Correct answer: A. The ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield multiplied by 100

  • A. The ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield multiplied by 100
  • B. The difference between theoretical yield and actual yield
  • C. The ratio of theoretical yield to actual yield multiplied by 100
  • D. The actual yield divided by 100

Explanation

The percent yield equation is:percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%The percent yield is the ratio of the actual yield over the theoretical yield multiplied by 100.The actual yield is the quantity of a product that is obtained from a chemical reaction. In contrast, the calculated or theoretical yield is the amount of product that could be obtained from a reaction if all of the reactant converts to product.

About Fundamental Concepts of Chemistry

Mole calculations connect mass, number of particles and Avogadro's number, while balanced equations provide the mole ratios used in stoichiometry. Questions cover limiting and excess reactants, theoretical yield and percentage yield, including identifying which reactant is consumed first and comparing the actual product with the maximum possible product.
