What are some examples of percent yield?

Answer 1

The mass of the actual yield is divided by the mass of the theoretical yield to get the percent yield, which is then multiplied by 100.

(Mass of actual yield) / (Mass of theoretical yield) x 100 equals the percent yield.

For instance, a reaction's actual yield after the experiment is 6.2g, whereas the theoretical yield is determined to be 8.5g.

Yield percentage is 73% (6.2g/8.5g x 100).

Examples of percent yield include chemical reactions where a product is synthesized, such as the synthesis of aspirin from salicylic acid, the production of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen, or the combustion of hydrocarbons to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Answer from HIX Tutor

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
