In an experiment to prepare aspirin, the percent yield was 94.3%. If the actual yield was 124.3 g, what was the theoretical yield for this experiment?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The percent yield is calculated as (actual yield/theoretical yield) * 100. To find the theoretical yield, rearrange the formula: theoretical yield = actual yield / (percent yield / 100). Substituting the given values gives theoretical yield = 124.3 g / (94.3 / 100) = 132 g.
