Question
The theoretical yield of aspirin in a reaction is 721 g. What is the percent yield if 461 g is produced?A.2.56%B.10.2%C.156%D.63.9%
Solution
The percent yield is calculated by dividing the actual yield (the amount produced in the experiment) by the theoretical yield (the amount that should have been produced according to the stoichiometry of the reaction), and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.
Here's the step-by-step calculation:
-
Identify the actual yield and the theoretical yield. In this case, the actual yield is 461 g and the theoretical yield is 721 g.
-
Divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield: 461 g / 721 g = 0.639
-
Multiply by 100 to get a percentage: 0.639 * 100 = 63.9%
So, the percent yield of the reaction is 63.9%. The correct answer is D.63.9%.
