Percent Yield

Introduction to Percent Yield

Percent yield is a measure of the efficiency of a chemical reaction. It represents the percentage of the theoretical yield that was actually obtained from a chemical reaction. In this formula, Percent Yield is calculated by dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield, then multiplying by 100 to express the result as a percentage.

Parameter usage:

• actualYield = actual yield obtained from the reaction
• theoreticalYield = theoretical yield based on stoichiometry or other calculations

Output:

• Percent Yield = efficiency of the chemical reaction in percentage

Data validation

Both actual yield and theoretical yield should be positive numbers.

Summary

This calculator evaluates the efficiency of a chemical reaction by computing the percent yield based on the actual and theoretical yields.
