percentage yield questions

1. Phenol, C6H5OH, is converted into trichlorophenol, C6H2Cl3OH. If 488 g of product are obtained from 250 g of phenol, calculate the percentage yield.

2. 29.5 g of ethanoic acid, CH3COOH, are obtained from the oxidation of 25.0 g of ethanol, C2H5OH. What percentage yield does this represent?

3. 100 cm3 of barium chloride solution of concentration 0.0500 mol dm-3 were treated with an excess of sulphate ions in solution. The precipitate of barium sulphate formed was dried and weighed. A mass of 1.1558 g was recorded. Calculate the percentage yield.

Thanks

Welcome to TSR :smile:

Calculate the moles at the start for the reagent and the moles for the product at the end, then divide the two and multiply by 100.

it's experimental yield (what the experiment gave you) divided by theoretical yield (what you calculated) x 100. :smile:

I was trying to find some percentage yield questions online and this came up as one of the options. I knew it was old but I thought someone might answer it if I ask. 😅
