    82.11%

    Explanation:

    We are given;

    Theoretical mass of the product is 137.5 g Actual mass of the product is 112.9 g

    We are supposed to calculate the percentage yield

    We need to know how percentage yield is calculated; To calculate the percentage yield we get the ratio of the actual mass to theoretical mass and express it as a percentage.

    Thus;

    % yield = (Actual mass : Experimental mass) * 100%

    = (112.9 g : 137.5 g) * 100%

    = 82.11%

    Therefore, the percentage yield of the product is 82.11 %
