Step 1: Use the formula for percentage yield.
Percentageyield=TheoreticalyieldActualyield×100
From the image, the actual yield is 33 and the theoretical yield is 42.
Step 2: Substitute the values into the formula.
Percentageyield=4233×100
Step 3: Perform the division.
4233≈0.7857142857
Step 4: Multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
0.7857142857×100≈78.57142857%
Step 5: Round the answer to the nearest whole number, as indicated by the final step in your work (79%).
The first decimal place is 5, so we round up the whole number.
78.57142857%≈79%
The percentage yield is:
79%
