Lesson: Percentage Yield Chemistry

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to identify the limiting reagent and calculate the percentage yield of desired products based on the actual and theoretical yield.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

state the formula for calculating the percentage yield of a reaction,
identify the limiting reagent in a chemical reaction using moles,
calculate the theoretical yield of a reaction, identifying the limiting reagent if necessary,
calculate percentage yield from the masses of molar quantities of the reactants or products,
identify what factors may affect percentage yields.
