An organic synthesis to make the pain reliever acetaminophen is supposed to produce 280 kg of product but instead produces 70 kg of waste in addition to the acetaminophen. What is the percent yield? Group of answer choices

Respuesta :

Answer: 75%

Explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question:

Waste = 70kg

Theoretical yield = 280kg

Therefore, the actual yield will be the difference between the theoretical yield and the waste which will be:

= 280kg - 70kg = 210kg

The percent yield will now be:

= Actual yield / Theoretical yield × 100

= 210/280 × 100

= 3/4 × 100

= 75%

The percent yield of the reaction would be 25%.

The percent yield of a reaction is mathematically given by:

  •           actual yield/theoretical yield x 100%

In this case, the actual yield is 70 kg while the theoretical yield is 280 kg.

Thus:

  •   percent yield = 70/280 x 100

                             = 25 %
