Example 1
Solid silver chromate (Ag₂CrO₄) forms when excess potassium chromate
(K₂CrO₄) is added to a solution containing 0.500 g of silver nitrate (AgNO₃).
Determine the theoretical yield of Ag₂CrO₄.Calculate the percent yield if the
reaction yield 0.455 g of Ag₂CrO₄.
1. Analyze the problem
You know the mass of the reactant and the actual yield of the product.
Write the balanced chemical equation, and theoretical yield by converting
grams of AgNO₃ to moles of AgNO₃, moles of AgNO₃ to moles of Ag₂CrO₄, and
moles of Ag₂CrO₄ to grams of Ag₂CrO₄. Calculate the percent yield from the
actual yield and theoretical yield.

Example 2
When 1.92 g of magnesium was heated in excess oxygen, 3.0 g of
magnesium oxide was obtained. Calculate the percentage yield of magnesium
oxide.
Solution:
2Mg (s) + O₂(g)⇾2MgO (s)
Mole ratio of Mg:MgO = 2:2 =1:1
This means that 24 g of Mg will produce 40 g of MgO. Therefore, 1.92 g
40
of Mg should produce 1.92 x 24 = 3.2 g of MgO.

Example 3:
Methyl alcohol can be produced in a high-pressure reaction
If 6.1 metric tons of methyl alcohol is obtained from 1.2 metric tons of
hydrogen reacting with excess amount of COCO, estimate the theoretical and
the percentage yield?
Solution
Thus, the theoretical yield from 1.2 metric tons (1.2x106 g) of hydrogen
gas is 9.6 tons. The actual yield is stated in the problem, 6.1 metric tons.
Thus, the percentage yield is
Due to chemical equilibrium or the mass action law, the limiting reagent
may not be completely consumed. Thus, a lower yield is expected in some
cases. Losses during the recovery process of the product will cause an even
lower actual yield.

1. Can rocks on the moon provide an effective oxygen source for future
lunar missions?
Although the moon has no atmosphere and thus no oxygen, its surface is
covered with rocks and soil made from oxides. Scientists, looking for an oxygen
source for future long-duration lunar missions, are researching ways to extract
oxygen from lunar soil and rock. Analysis of samples collected during previous
lunar missions provided scientists with the data shown in the table. The table
identifies the oxides in lunar soil as well as each oxide’s percent-by-weight of
the soil.

__________4. The theoretical yield of a chemical reaction is the maximum
amount of product that can be produced from a given amount
of reactant. Theoretical yield us calculated from the balanced
chemical equation.
__________5. The actual yield is the amount of product produced. Actual yield
must be obtained through experimentation.
