You complete a chemical reaction and recover 79 grams of product. however, you calculate you should have recovered 104 grams of product. what is the percent yield?

Percent yield is calculated using:


Your actual yield is how much you actually had at the end of the experiment = 79g.

Your theoretical yield is how much you calculated you should have gotten in an ideal, perfect experiment = 104g.

So put those values into the equation:
