Calculate Percent Yield

About Percent Yield

Percent yield is a measure of the efficiency of a chemical reaction. It compares the actual amount of product obtained to the theoretical maximum amount that could be produced.

% Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) × 100

Key concepts:

  • Actual Yield: Amount of product actually obtained
  • Theoretical Yield: Maximum amount possible (calculated from stoichiometry)
  • Percent Yield: Efficiency of the reaction (0-100%)

Factors Affecting Yield:

• Incomplete reactions
• Side reactions
• Loss during purification
• Impure reactants

Typical Yields:

• Excellent: >90%
• Good: 70-90%
• Fair: 50-70%
• Poor: <50%

Percent yield is crucial in industrial chemistry, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and laboratory synthesis optimization.
