Percent yield compares the actual amount of product obtained in a reaction to the theoretical maximum (calculated from stoichiometry). It reflects efficiency and accounts for side reactions, incomplete reactions, and purification losses.

Stapsgewijze handleiding

1. 1Calculate theoretical yield from stoichiometry using limiting reagent
2. 2Weigh or measure actual product obtained
3. 3Percent yield = (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) × 100%
