Study Notes
Calculating Percentage Yield
- Rearrange the percentage yield equation to: Actual yield = (% yield / 100) x theoretical yield
- Use this rearranged equation to calculate the actual yield
Worked Exam Style Question
- Given the equation: 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
- Calculate the percentage yield of the reaction, given that burning 2.32 g of magnesium produced 2.39 g of magnesium oxide
- Steps:
- Work out the number of moles of magnesium
- Calculate the theoretical yield of magnesium oxide
- Calculate the percentage yield
Atom Economy
- Atom economy reflects the efficiency of a reaction producing the desired product
- Calculate atom economy using the equation: Desired product / (Desired product + By-product) x 100
- Example 1: Calculate the atom economy for the reaction producing Mg(OH)2
- Desired product = Mg(OH)2, Mr = 58
- By-product = NaCl, Mr = 58.5
- Atom economy = 58 / 116.5 = 49.8%
