Percent yield of ZnCl₂ = 98 %

Explanation:

Data Given:

Actual yield of ZnCl₂ = 140.15 g

Theoretical yield of ZnCl₂ = 143 g.

percent yield = ?

Solution:

Formula used

Percent yield = Actual yield / Theoretical yield x 100%

Put values in the formula

Percent yield = 140.15 g / 143 g x 100%

Percent yield = 98.007 %

Rounded to significant figure

Percent yield of ZnCl₂ = 98 %
