Percent Yield

Percent yield is probably the easiest part of stoichiometry. After calculating the theoretical yield (what should be produced) and knowing the actual yield (what was actually produced), you simply plug these two numbers into a formula to find out the percent of the theoretical yield that was yielded from the experiment. This comes after all the hard stuff, which is the actual stoich that is being calculated.



This are two videos that go through this concept:

    Thanks for this post Avery. I agree with you on that percent yield is the easiest part of Stoichiometry! The links you added at the end were helpful too.

    Avery, I also agree with you and Marie about percent yield being the easiest part of this unit. Thank you for explaining how to calculate it and including the picture of the equation.
