Chapter 9 Chemical Quantities in Reactions 9.4 Percent Yield Learning Goal Given the actual quantity of product, determine the percent yield for a reaction. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Percent yield is the ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield. Theoretical yield is the amount of product we expect, if all the reactants were converted to the desired product. Actual yield is the amount of product obtained when the reaction takes place. Percent yield is the ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
