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.

How do you find 85.0 percent in percent yield?

if you received 85.0 percent back from your product then your percent yield is 85 percent.


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


When 320g octane C8H18 is burned in oxygen 392g of water is recovered what is the percent yield of the experiment?

To find the percent yield, first calculate the theoretical yield of water by converting the mass of octane to moles, using stoichiometry to find the mole ratio between octane and water, and then converting back to grams. Next, divide the actual yield (392g) by the theoretical yield and multiply by 100 to get the percent yield.


What is the percent yield if the actual yield from this reaction is 306g?

To calculate the percent yield, you need the theoretical yield of the reaction. The percent yield is calculated using the formula: [ \text{Percent Yield} = \left( \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \right) \times 100 ] If you provide the theoretical yield, I can help you determine the percent yield.


Calculate the percent yield of chlorine gas in the decomposition of hydrochloric acid if 25.8 grams of hydrochloric acid produces 13.6 grams of chlorine gas?

Percent yield can be calculated using the formula: (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100. First, determine the theoretical yield of chlorine gas by finding the molar ratio between hydrochloric acid and chlorine gas. Once you have calculated the theoretical yield, plug the values into the formula to find the percent yield.


When 300g of ammonia reacted with excess sulfuric acid to produce ammonium sulfate 985 g of product were obtained what is the percent yield of ammonium sulfate for this reaction?

The theoretical yield of ammonium sulfate can be calculated based on the amount of ammonia used. To find the percent yield, divide the actual yield (985 g) by the theoretical yield and multiply by 100. Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100.


Dividing the actual yield by the theoretical and multiplying it by 100 is called?

Percent Yield.


The actual yield of the given reaction is 14.4what is your percent yield?

To calculate percent yield, you would use the formula: (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100%. If the actual yield is 14.4 and the theoretical yield is not provided, the percent yield cannot be calculated accurately without the theoretical yield.


When 50.9 g of silicon dioxide is heated with an excess of carbon 32.3 g of silicon carbide is produced SiO2 plus 3C ----- SiC plus 2CO what is the percent yield of this reaction?

To calculate percent yield, we need to compare the actual yield to the theoretical yield. The actual yield is the measured amount of product produced, which is 32.3 g of silicon carbide. The theoretical yield can be calculated by stoichiometry. Convert 50.9g of SiO2 to moles, determine the limiting reactant, and calculate the theoretical yield of SiC. Finally, using the formula: percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100, we find the percent yield.


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


Would the percent yield be different if the actual yield and theoretical yield were in units of moles?

No, the percent yield would not be affected by the units of the actual and theoretical yield as long as they are consistent. Percent yield is calculated as (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%, where the units cancel out in the division.


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 :)
