The ratio between the actual yield and theoretical yield multiplied by 100 is called the percentage yield. Percentage yield demonstrates the percentage of theoretical that was gained from the end product in a reaction. The percentage yield is calculated using this equation:
Percentage Yield =(Mass of actual yield)/(Mass of theoretical yield) ×100.
The mass of actual yield is the mass of the end product that was gained from the experiment. The actual yield is the amount of product that was actually produced at the end of the experiment. The theoretical yield is mass of the product that should have been obtained by looking at the balanced equation. The mass of the theoretical yield is the theoretical mass of the product which
