Percent Yield Made Easy: Stoichiometry Tutorial Part 4

This is a whiteboard animation tutorial that demonstrates how to identify the actual yield of a chemical reaction and how to calculate the theoretical yield and percent yield of a chemical reaction.

Please consider supporting me on Patreon:

The actual yield is the amount of product that is actually produced and isolated from a chemical reaction.

The theoretical yield is the amount of product that could be produced if the reaction worked perfectly. In order to determine the theoretical yield, you will need to perform a stoichiometry calculation (typically grams to grams).

The percent yield tells you how well the reaction worked. It is the actual yield divided by the theoretical yield times 100%.

This is the fourth tutorial in my stoichiometry series.

My goal is to make chemistry easier ;)

Thank you for taking your time in breaking it down in a way that I can understand. It makes it easier to understand when you use everyday products as visual learning tools. Chemistry can be so abstract at times.

This series helped me to understand what 3 months of classes couldn't. Cheers!

Saved me, my exam's tomorrow and i forgot everything about this unit, thank you!

[oliviagrace]

thank you sooo much for this! my teacher didn't explain how to do this very well so i was basically relying on videos to get this assignment done. no other website was helping, thanks for being so thorough!

TOP G thank you, I bout to pass my Chem test now.

[kyliejw]

Thank you!!! My teacher explained this just as well as a squirrel teaches calculus. You are much appreciated my friend!!!

[AlysonFox-cytw]

THANK YOU ive been blankly staring at my lab report for hours you saved my life lol

[moresalad]

Dang that was awesome!! Onto limited reactions!!

[shanialenae]

percent yield is normally less than 100% because different side reactions may occur or the products may get lost | 00805 |

It's normally less than 100% because the reaction might be incomplete, there may be side reactions, product loss when purifying or may be spilled or blown away

I’m writing in 2 hours. Thank you so much

[panasiia]

So helpful, wish they explained it this way in my lectures.

This guy has the best handwriting ever

Mr you are a very tallent teacher
Your explains is more than great

[nick]

ngl, I use khan academy but when I found your channel I was blown away how you made it sound a lot more easier. Even though this has been made 6 years ago, I want to say thank

[cierrasouthard]

the percent yield is normally less than 100% because the reaction could be incomplete and different side reactions going on as well. product could be lost through the reaction and could affect the percent yield. 00823

Percent yield tells how much a specific chemical reaction actually yields compared to it's theoretical potential.

[meganperdue]

Percent Yield tells you how well the reaction worked; the actual yield divided by the theoretical yield times 100; 00415

Thank God a simple video to explain it

ID:00404 If the percent yield is 250%, that means that there is a mistake and needs to be fix. This results form the actual yield being larger than the theoretical yield and this physically cannot happen. A calculation or measuring mistake must have occurred.
