In this video, you'll learn how to find the actual yield, theoretical yield, and percent yield by working through an example together.

It's really just a matter of knowing the equation: % yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%. Actual yield is the amount of products that is actually produced in the experiment. Theoretical yield is the amount of products that can be produced if the experiment went 100% according the plan without error.

To find theoretical yield, use stoichiometry to convert the given reactants into the grams of the desired product.

By the end of this video, you'll know exactly how to find actual yield, theoretical yield, and percent yield.
