Formula:
The Percent Yield quantifies the efficiency of a chemical reaction, comparing the experimentally obtained amount of product (Actual Yield) to the maximum possible amount (Theoretical Yield). It is calculated using the following formula:
Percent Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) × 100%
Where:
• Actual Yield is the mass or moles of product obtained experimentally.
• Theoretical Yield is the maximum mass or moles of product calculated stoichiometrically from the limiting reactant.
