Consider the following reaction: 2A + B $\to$ 3C + D
3.0 mol A and 2.0 mol B react to form 4.0 mol C.What is the percent yield of this reaction?
A)50%
B)67%
C)75%
D)89%
E)100%

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The percent yield is calculated as the actual yield divided by the theoretical yield multiplied by 100%. The theoretical yield is the amount of product that would be formed if the reaction went to completion. In this case, the theoretical yield is 4.0 mol C. The actual yield is the amount of product that is actually formed, which is also 4.0 mol C. Therefore, the percent yield is 100%.
