Question
If the actual yield of Li₃N in a reaction is 5.89 g and the theoretical yield is 10.5 g, the percentage yield is:
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Percentage yield is calculated as (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) × 100. So, (5.89 g / 10.5 g) × 100 = 56.1%. The closest option provided is 55.8%.
Hint
Divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiply by 100%.
