A reaction has a theoretical yield of 56.9 g. When the reaction is carried out, 36.6 g of the product is obtained.

Answer :

Final answer:

The percent yield of the reaction is 64.25%.

Explanation:

The percent yield of a chemical reaction is the ratio of the actual yield (the amount of product obtained) to the theoretical yield (the amount of product that could be obtained based on the balanced chemical equation), multiplied by 100. In this case, the theoretical yield is 56.9 g and the actual yield is 36.6 g. To calculate the percent yield, divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiply by 100:

Percent Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) x 100

Percent Yield = (36.6 g / 56.9 g) x 100 = 64.25%
