Percent Yield

This lesson has been one of the simplest lessons we have learned this year in Chemistry. After calculating the theoretical yield and the actual yield, all there is to do is plug it into the formula. In the practice problems we were given, the problems themselves already gave us the yield, and all we had to do was use algebra to solve for either one or both of the yields. To find the theoretical yield sometimes all that must be done is the simple conversions we learned earlier.
This is how the problem is set up

These are some links that walk through the process:
