Theoretical yield Actual yield100. Consider a 352-g sample of CaCO 3 9987 pure in a flask and a 1000 mL sample of vinegar 5 acidity in a graduated cylinder. Explain why percentage yield may be less than 100 Example.
Its going to be 04 moles over 05 moles times 100 and we have 80.
Theoretical yield Actual yield100. Marc Vidal is right you should the yield of every step as fractions of 1 multiply them but only over a linear sequence and multiply by. Consider a 352-g sample of CaCO 3 9987 pure in a flask and a 1000 mL sample of vinegar 5 acidity in a graduated cylinder. This video shows you how to calculate the theoretical and percent yield in chemistry.
