Theoretical and Percent Yield

Front

What does percent yield indicate?

Back

The efficiency of the chemical reaction.

Front

The ______________ yield is the maximum amount of product possible in a reaction.

Back

Theoretical.

Front

Theoretical yield = 73g
Actual yield = 62g
Calculate the percent yield.

Back

85%.

Front

Competing reactions might occur forming other products causing your actual yield to be less than your theoretical yield. True or False?

Back

True.

Front

Reactant and products might adhere to containers causing actual yield to be less than theoretical yield. True or False?

Back

True.

Front

Define theoretical yield.

Back

The maximum amount of product that can be produced in a chemical reaction under ideal conditions.

Front

What is actual yield?

Back

The amount of product that is actually obtained from a chemical reaction.

Front

How do you calculate percent yield?

Back

Percent Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) x 100.

Front

What factors can affect actual yield?

Back

Competing reactions, loss of product during transfer, and adherence to containers.

Front

What is the significance of a high percent yield?

Back

It indicates a more efficient chemical reaction.
