Question

what is the percent yield if the theoretical mass was 37 g and the actual mass was 19.08 g? round your answer to two decimal places and do not include units.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the percent yield formula

Percent yield = $\frac{\text{actual mass}}{\text{theoretical mass}}\times100\%$

Step2: Substitute the given values

Here, actual mass = $19.08$ g and theoretical mass = $37$ g.
Percent yield = $\frac{19.08}{37}\times100\%$

Step3: Calculate the value

$\frac{19.08}{37}=0.5156756757$
$0.5156756757\times100\% = 51.57\%$ (rounded to two decimal places)

Answer:

$51.57$
