The theoretical yield of C was 49.9 g. However the actual yield was 31.8 g.

to find the percent yield of C, the following formula can be used,

percent yield of C = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%

percent yield of C = 31.8 g / 49.9 g x 100%

= 63.7%

most of the time only a percentage of the theoretical yield is the actual yield.

the percent yield of C is 63.7%
