% yield is the amount obtained from a reaction divided by the amount that can possibly be obtained times 100.

% yield=(actual yield/theoretical yield) * 100%

actual yield=the real amount of product that is actually produced in the reaction.

theoretical yield=the imaginary amount of product that is likely to form.

Is actual yield greater or less than the theoretical yield?

The percent yield is the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield. A mole ratio is a conversion factor derived from the coefficient of a balanced chemical equation interpreted in terms of moles.


Why do you find percent yield?

This allows you to compare different investments. In general (other things being equal), you would normally prefer an investment which gives you a larger percent yield for any given time period.

What is the percent yield of 122 grams of product?

If this is the actual yield, real amount produced, then you need the theoretical yield to find the percent yield. % yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100


If the actual yield of Mg3N2 is 47.87 g and the theoretical is 50.26 g What is the percent yield?

Percent yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield * 100 hope that helps :)


What if i don't know the yield percent?

Do you need it? Are you being told to calculate it? percent yield = (actual yield) divided by (theoretical yield) x 100


Is experimental yield the same as percent yield or actual yield?

The percentage yield is the Actual Yield divided by the Theoretical Yield, all multiplied by 100. Percentage = [(Actual)/(Theoretical)] x 100
