Percent Yield Formula
% Yield = (Actual / Theoretical) × 100%
Rearranged Formulas
  • Actual Yield:
    Actual = (% Yield / 100) × Theoretical
  • Theoretical Yield:
    Theoretical = (Actual / % Yield) × 100
Typical Percent Yields
  • 90-100%: Excellent (simple reactions)
  • 70-90%: Good (most lab reactions)
  • 50-70%: Fair (complex reactions)
  • <50%: Poor (may need optimization)
Why Less Than 100%?
  • Incomplete reactions
  • Side reactions
  • Product losses during transfer
  • Impure reactants
  • Measurement errors
