1. Convert reactant to moles
2. Multiply by the molar ratio
3. Convert back into grams
Actual Yield- the actual amount of product yielded due to errors
1. This is the amount in grams of a particular product that you end up with
Percent Yield- the amount of actual product you end up with in comparison to the theoretical yield
1. Divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield
2. Multiply by 100

Shaneerah, thanks for the very helpful post! I like how you gave the definitions of both the actual yield and the theoretical yield, showing the difference between them. Also, the steps you wrote to find the different yields were very clear and easy to use. Lastly, I like how you posted examples, showing that you fully understand the concept.
ReplyDeleteShaneerah, thanks for this great post, it was very helpful! I enjoyed how you started your post with simple steps, concerning the basics between the two different types of yields. Your pictures of your work further your post in showing your practice the material and help your viewers who may not understand at first glance of your steps. Additionally, as this is entirely new material to the class, your youtube videos were very helpful to further understand these concepts. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both Lilly and Holly. I like how you explained how to do both and then gave example problems and additional help. You made it simple and easy to understand so thanks for posting!
