CHEMISTRY CALCULATORS
Percent Yield Calculator
Effortlessly calculate percent yield in chemical reactions for chemistry students and professionals.
What is the Percent Yield Calculator & How does it work?
Percent yield is a measure of the efficiency of a chemical reaction. It compares the actual yield (the amount of product actually obtained) to the theoretical yield (the maximum possible amount of product that could be obtained based on stoichiometry). The formula for percent yield is:To calculate percent yield, you need to know both the actual and theoretical yields. The actual yield is typically measured experimentally, while the theoretical yield is calculated using stoichiometry based on the balanced chemical equation and the amounts of reactants used.
\text{Percent Yield} = \left(\frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}}\right) \times 100\%
Percent Yield = the efficiency of the reaction expressed as a percentage.
Actual Yield = the amount of product actually obtained from the reaction.
Theoretical Yield = the maximum possible amount of product that could be obtained.
Actual Yield = the amount of product actually obtained from the reaction.
Theoretical Yield = the maximum possible amount of product that could be obtained.
