If an experiment produces 5 g but should have made 500 g, what is the percent

yield?

Percentage of yield = 1%

Explanation:

Given:

Amount of yield = 5g

Total amount of product = 500 gram

Find:

Percentage of yield = ?

Computation:

⇒ Percentage of yield = [Amount of yield / Total amount of product]100

⇒ Percentage of yield = [5g / 500g]100

⇒ Percentage of yield = [0.01]100

⇒ Percentage of yield = 1%
