New cards

Percentage yield

Compares actual yield to theoretical yield

2
New cards

Actual yield

Mass of product obtained from the experiment

3
New cards

Theoretical yield

Maximum possible mass from calculation

4
New cards

Percentage yield formula

(actual yield ÷ theoretical yield) × 100

5
New cards

Why yield is never 100%

Losses during transfer, incomplete reactions, side reactions

6
New cards

Incomplete reaction

Not all reactants convert to products

7
New cards

Side reactions

Other reactions reduce amount of desired product

8
New cards

Product loss

Sticking to apparatus or evaporating

9
New cards

High percentage yield

Reaction is efficient

10
New cards

Low percentage yield

Reaction is inefficient or product lost

11
New cards

Example: actual 8 g, theoretical 10 g

(8 ÷ 10) × 100 = 80%

12
New cards

Yield has no units

It is a percentage

13
New cards

Improving yield

Reduce product loss, prevent evaporation, ensure complete reaction
