The Yield of a Chemical Reaction
- The yield of a
chemical reaction
describes how much
product is made.
- Factors that affect this include : - product left behind on apparatus
- Difficulty separating the products from the reaction mixture
- Also some reactants may give unexpected
products or reactants might not be completely pure
- Important to maximise the yield and
minimise the energy wasted to
conserve the Earth's limited resources
and reduce pollution
- The percentage yield of a chemical
reaction tells us how much product
is made compared with the
maximum amount that could be
made (100%)
- Heres the formula for percentage yield :
