Percent Yield Calculator
Calculate the percentage yield of a chemical reaction.
The amount assumed to be produced (experimentally).
The maximum amount possible (calculated).
What is Percent Yield?
Percent yield is a measure of the efficiency of a chemical reaction. It compares the amount of product actually obtained (actual yield) to the amount that could theoretically be produced (theoretical yield).
Percent Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) × 100%
Common Causes for Low Yield
- Incomplete reaction.
- Loss of product during filtration or transfer.
- Side reactions producing unwanted byproducts.
