A student isolated 16 g of a compound following a procedure

that would theoretically yield 39 g. What was his percent yield?

41.03%

Explanation:

From the question;

Actual yield is 16 g Theoretical yield is 39 g

We are required to determine the percent yield

We need to know that the percent yield is given by; % yield = (Actual yield : theoretical yield) * 100

Thus, in this case;

% yield = (16 g : 39 g) * 100

= 41.03%

Thus, the percent yield is 41.03%
