#1
Front (Question)
Why do very few chemical reactions have a yield of 100%?
Back (Answer)
➢The reaction may be reversible - as products form they react to re-from the reactants again ➢Reactants may not be pure ➢Some of the product may be lost in handling or left in the apparatus ➢Some reactants may react to give unexpected or unwanted products
#2
Front (Question)
What is the yield?
Back (Answer)
➢The mass of the product that a chemical reaction produces
#3
Front (Question)
What is the formula for the percentage yield?
Back (Answer)
➢ Percentage yield = actual mass / maximum theoretical mass possible x 100%
