Answer to Question #138039 in General Chemistry for Cherry Benedicto Sabandija

Question

Theoretical yield is the calculated amount of products expected from given quantities of reactants in a chemical reaction. The amount of product actually produced is the percentage yield. which statement are true and false?

Answer 1

Theoretical yield is calculated based on the stoichiometry of the chemical equation.

The actual yield is determined experimentally, by taking the weight of the product that produced from the given amount of reactants.

The percent yield is determined by calculation following the equation, percent yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield)×100 %

So, percentage of yield is not the amount of product actually produced.

It's indicates the amount of product produced relatively to the expected amount.

Hence,

True statement is,

Theoretical yield is the calculated amount of products expected from given quantities of reactants in a chemical reaction.

False statement is,

The amount of product actually produced is the percentage yield.
