Hi there.
00:03
To answer this question, i want to first talk about the equation that we use to calculate percent yield.
00:11
Percent yield is calculated by taking the actual yield.
00:20
So that's the yield that you get by actually doing the experiment.
00:25
It's the amount of product that you obtain.
00:27
And dividing that by the theoretical yield.
00:33
The theoretical yield is the amount expected based upon calculations.
00:38
All right.
00:43
And to make that a percent, because that will be a decimal, to turn that into a percent, you would then multiply by 100 and add the percent sign.
00:50
So in this question, the percent yield equals 100 percent.
01:03
In order for the percent yield to equal 100 percent, the actual yield divided by the theoretical yield has to equal one.
01:13
So the actual over the theoretical would have to equal 1 because 1 times 100 % then gives us a 100 % yield...
