Yield Calculations
Key Formulas
Percent Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) × 100%
- • Actual Yield: Amount obtained experimentally
- • Theoretical Yield: Maximum possible amount
- • Percent Yield: Efficiency of reaction
- • Limiting Reagent: Reactant that runs out first
Factors Affecting Yield
- • Incomplete reactions
- • Side reactions
- • Loss during purification
- • Impurities in reactants
- • Reaction conditions
- • Human error
