Percent Yield

Percent yield is the amount of product that is produced during an experiment verse the theoretical amount produced when using stoichiometry. It is simply the amount of product produced divided by the thereotical amount found by using stoichiometry then multiplied by 100% to find the percent.

If you have a theoretical value of 5 grams of water produced but only 3 grams produced when the actual experiment is done you simply divide 3 by 5 and then multiply by 100% to get a 60 percent yield.

The following video is similar to what we explain earlier:
