A reaction was suppose to produce 20 L of gas. Only 12 litters of gas were produced in the lab. What is the percent yield for this reaction?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 60 \%}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Percent yield is a ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield. It is found using this formula:

[tex]\% \ yield= \frac {actual \ yield}{theoretical \ yield} *100[/tex]

The actual yield is 12 liters, because that was actually produced in the lab.

The theoretical yield is 20 liters, because that was the expected yield.

[tex]\% \ yield= \frac {12 \ L}{20\ L} *100[/tex]

[tex]\% \ yield= 0.6*100[/tex]

[tex]\% \ yield= 60[/tex]

For this reaction, the percent yield is 60%.
