ARE U READY FOR SOME PERCENT YIELD?! (:

DO U GET IT ?? ( cas i dont hahah)
now MOVING ON.

are u ready?

so lets start by knowing the basics.

what is the formula of percent yeild?
|  hmmmmmm? (: |

 percent yield: is the ratio of # of product obtained to # of product expected by calculation, expressed as %.

Here's an example:

Q: What is the % yield of water if 138 g H2O is produced from 16g H2 and excess O2?

STEP 1: Write the balanced chemical equation
2H2 + O2 ---> 2H2O

STEP 2: Determine the actual and theoretical yield. Actual is given and theoretical is calculated.

#g H2O = 16g H2 x 1 mol H22 mole H2O x 18.02 H2O = 143 g
                      2.02 g H2    2 mole H2    1 mol H2O   

STEP 3: Calculate percent yield.

13g H2O      x 100% = 96.
143 g H2O            

 [ dont forget your sig figs guys! ]

need more practice??

Percent Yield Practice Problems

1.  A student adds 200.0g of C7H6O3 to an excess of C4H6O3, this produces C9H8O4 and C2H4O2.  Calculate the percent yield if 231 g of aspirin (C9H8O4) is produced.

            C7H6O3   +   C4H6O3   à    C9H8O4 +   C2H4O2

2.  According to the following equation, Calculate the percentage yield if 550.0 g of toluene ()added to an excess of nitric acid () provides 305 g of the p-nitrotoluene product.

            C7H8  +  HNO3  à  C7H7NO2   =   H2O

3.  Quicklime, CaO, can be prepared by roasting limestone, CaCO3, according to the chemical equation below.  When 2.00 x 103 g of CaCO3 are heated, the actual yield of CaO is 1.50 x 103 g.  What is the percentage yield?

            CaCO3   à   CaO   +   CO2


Answers:

1.  90%
2. 37.2%
3. 93.8%

JOKE OF THE DAY! (:

Q: If H2O is the formula for water, what is the formula for ice?
A: H2O cubed.

HA-HA-HA
Im so funny.
