Understanding Percent Yield

What is Percent Yield?

Percent yield is the ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield, expressed as a percentage. It measures the efficiency of a chemical reaction.

Percent Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) × 100%

Applications

Percent yield is important in:

  • Process optimization
  • Quality control
  • Cost analysis
  • Reaction efficiency

Factors Affecting Yield

Common factors include:

  • Competing reactions
  • Incomplete reactions
  • Product loss during isolation
  • Reaction conditions

Practical Considerations

Important points:

  • Cannot exceed 100%
  • Indicates reaction efficiency
  • Helps optimize conditions
  • Economic importance
