EXAMPLEEthanol reacts with Acetic acid to produce Ethyl Acetate. Stoichiometry predicts that 0. 458 mol of the acetic acid reacting with excess ethanol will produce 0. 458 mol of ethyl acetate. It is found, however, that only 0. 399 mol of the acetate is obtained. What is the % yield? Rxn: E + A • Ans: 87. 1 % Yield EA

Practice When 12. 15 g of Mg ribbon is burned a white ash, solid magnesium oxide is formed. What is theoretical yield for this reaction? 2 Mg + O 2 2 Mg. O 12. 15 g ? 12. 15 g Mg. X (1 mol Mg/24. 30 g Mg) X (2 mol Mg. O/2 mol Mg) X (40. 30 g Mg. O/1 mol Mg. O) = 20. 15 g Mg. O Theoretical Yield is 20. 15 g Mg. O

Percent Yield When 12. 15 g of Mg ribbon is burned a white ash, solid magnesium oxide is formed. Theoretical Yield is 20. 15 g Mg. O What is the % Yield if 16. 12 g of ash is produced? Ans: (16. 12 g/20. 15 g) x 100 = 80. 00 % Meaning: you actually obtained 80. 00% of what was theoretically expected.

Theoretical Yield When KI is added to a solution containing 0. 500 g of lead II nitrate, solid lead II iodide (a yellow precipitate) is formed, Pb. I 2. If 0. 478 g of the precipitate is produced calculate the % yield.

% Yield When KI is added to a solution containing 0. 500 g of lead II nitrate, solid lead II iodide (a yellow precipitate) is formed, Pb. I 2. If 0. 478 g of the precipitate is produced calculate the % yield. Ans: 98. 7% yield
