Jon was expecting to make 112.3 grams of cobalt nitrate, but he only got 92.7 grams from his reaction. What was his percent yield?

Answer 1

Percent yield = 100 x (actual amount obtained /100% theoretical amount expected). In this case, only 92.7 grams was actually obtained, and when divided by the theoretical amount expected, 112.3 grams, we get 92.7/112.3 = 0.8255. When multiplied by 100, we get

100 x 0.8255 = 82.55% yield.

Answer 2

Theoretical yield (TY) = 112.3 g

Actual yield (AY) = 92.7 g

%-Yield = (AY / TY) x 100%

= (92.7 / 112.3) x 100% = 82.5%
