The percent yield of the various stages in a reaction is given below.
A→ Intermediary1 (percent yield = 70%) → Intermediary2 (percent yield = 80%) → B (Percent Yield = 90%). The overall percent yield of this reaction is 50.%.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The overall percent yield is the product of the percent yields of the individual stages. Therefore, the overall percent yield is 70% x 80% x 90% = 50.4%.
