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

Question

The percent yield is calculated as (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100. Rearranging to find the theoretical yield gives theoretical yield = actual yield / (percent yield/100). Substituting the given values: theoretical yield = 124.3 g / (94.3/100) = 131.8 g, which rounds to 132 g.
