  1. A lab mixes 16.8 g of baking soda (84.01 g/mol) with vinegar and collects 7.7 g of CO₂ (44.01 g/mol), 1 : 1. What is the percent yield, to 0.1%, Esme?

  2. A lab mixes 8.4 g of baking soda (84.01 g/mol) with vinegar and collects 3.96 g of CO₂ (44.01 g/mol), 1 : 1. What is the percent yield, to 0.1%, Jun?

  3. A lab mixes 33.6 g of baking soda (84.01 g/mol) with vinegar and collects 14.96 g of CO₂ (44.01 g/mol), 1 : 1. What is the percent yield, to 0.1%, Kira?

  4. Zee says a 120% yield means the class did better than perfect. Which reply fits, Luz?

    • Agree: a higher yield is a better yield
    • Disagree: over 100% points to a wet or impure product
    • Agree: careful work can beat the theoretical yield
  5. Pia says percent yield is theoretical ÷ actual × 100. Which reply fits, Noah?

    • Agree: the larger number goes on top
    • Disagree: it is actual ÷ theoretical × 100
    • Agree: either order gives the same percent
  6. A plant takes in 264.06 g of CO₂ (6 mol). Photosynthesis makes 1 mol of glucose (180.18 g) per 6 mol of CO₂. What is the theoretical yield of glucose, Pia?

    • 1081.08 g, from 6 mol of glucose
    • 264.06 g, the same mass as the CO₂
    • 180.18 g, from 1 mol of glucose
  7. That plant stores 162.16 g of glucose against the 180.18 g expected. What is the percent yield, Ren?

    • 15%, from 162.16 ÷ 1081.08 × 100
    • 90%, from 162.16 ÷ 180.18 × 100
    • 111.1%, from 180.18 ÷ 162.16 × 100
  8. Group A makes 4.18 g of an expected 4.40 g; Group B makes 8.36 g of an expected 8.80 g. Which has the higher percent yield, Zee?

    • Neither: both are 95%
    • Group A, since its sample was smaller
    • Group B, since it made more grams
  9. Group A gets 90% and Group B 70% from the same reaction. Which lost more of its product, Ari?

    • Group B, with 30% missing
    • Group A, since its number is bigger
    • Neither, since both are under 100%
  10. Group A reports 98% from damp crystals; Group B reports 91% from dry ones. Which result is more trustworthy, Bo?

    • Group A's, since its yield is higher
    • Group B's, since its crystals are dry
    • Neither, since both are under 100%

About this worksheet

Theoretical and percent yield. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can tell the theoretical yield (worked out) from the actual yield (weighed).
  • I can find percent yield = actual ÷ theoretical × 100, and an actual yield from a percent.
  • I can name reasons a yield falls short, and say why a yield over 100% points to a wet or impure product.

Standard: HS-PS1-7

Words to know

theoretical yield: The product mass worked out from the balanced equation

actual yield: The product mass really collected and weighed

percent yield: Actual ÷ theoretical × 100

Common mistakes

Your child divided the wrong way. Percent yield = actual ÷ theoretical × 100, so a real yield is usually under 100%.

Your child used the molar masses the wrong way round. Divide by the reactant's molar mass, then multiply by the product's.

Your child divided by the reactant's mass. Percent yield compares the product made with the product expected.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with theoretical and percent yield?

Your child divided the wrong way. Percent yield = actual ÷ theoretical × 100, so a real yield is usually under 100%.

Are these 10th grade science worksheets free to print?
