1. Theoretical, Actual, and Percent Yield Problems Example 1

2. First we’ll review some important definitions.

3. Yield–

4. First we’ll review some important definitions. Yield–Simply means the amount of a particular product formed in a chemical reaction

5. Theoretical Yield

6. –(also called predicted yield)

7. Theoretical Yield –(also called predicted yield) is the amount of product predicted by a stoichiometric calculation.

8. In other words, if we’re given the amounts of reactants and asked to use stoichiometry to find the mass of a product, then we are finding the theoretical (or predicted ) yield of that product.

9. For various reasons, when a reaction is carried out in a real physical setting, like a lab or an industrial site, we don’t always get the amount of a product predicted.

10. Actual yield

11. For various reasons, when a reaction is carried out in a real physical setting, like a lab or an industrial site, we don’t always get the amount of a product predicted. Actual yield – the amount of a product that is actually obtained in a reaction.

12. Percent Yield

13. – the formula we use for percent yield is:

14. Percent Yield – the formula we use for percent yield is:

15. Percent Yield – the formula we use for percent yield is:

16. Percent Yield – the formula we use for percent yield is:

17. Percent Yield – the formula we use for percent yield is:

18. Percent Yield – the formula we use for percent yield is:

19. If the actual yield of a particular product was equal to the theoretical, or predicted yield,

20. If the actual yield of a particular product was equal to the theoretical, or predicted yield, then the percent yield would be 100%.

21. In many reactions that take place in labs and industrial sites, the actual yield is less than the theoretical, or predicted yield.

22. In these cases, the percent yield is less than 100%.
