Two successive reaction a to b and b to c have yields of 86 and 47 respectively what is the overall percent yield for conversion of A to C?

As a general rule, the overall percent yield is the product of individual yields of the successive reactions under consideration. In this case, the overall percent yield for conversion of A to C can be calculated as (0.86 X 0.47 = 0.4042) i.e. 40.42% or about 40% after rounding up. Hope this answers the question.
