Percent Yield

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

Percent yield compares the actual yield of a product to the theoretical yield calculated via stoichiometry: (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100%. It reflects how efficient a reaction is under specific conditions. Losses can occur due to side reactions, incomplete reactions, or practical limitations (e.g., purification steps). Understanding percent yield helps evaluate the cost-effectiveness and practicality of chemical syntheses.
