In this video, you'll learn how to find the actual yield, theoretical yield, and percent yield by working through an example together.
It's really just a matter of knowing the equation: % yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%. Actual yield is the amount of products that is actually produced in the experiment. Theoretical yield is the amount of products that can be produced if the experiment went 100% according the plan without error.
To find theoretical yield, use stoichiometry to convert the given reactants into the grams of the desired product.
By the end of this video, you'll know exactly how to find actual yield, theoretical yield, and percent yield.

    This was really helpful only issue i noticed being that multiplying by 100% is the same as multiplying by one (% = /100 => 100% = 100/100 = 1) so it is time 100 not times 100% but again aside from that it is extremely helpful

    Ill explain it with an easier method. . . First work out the moles of Ammonia which is n=M/Mr =9.87/17=0.581 to 3 significant figures From the balanced equation, you can see that 2 moles of Ammonia react to give 1 mole of Urea So the mole to mole ratio is 2:1 so the moles of Urea is 0.2905 Now you can work out the Maximum theoretical mass of Urea with teh formula Mass=Mr x n(moles) The relative molecular mass of Urea is 60 and the moles are 0.2905 as worked out earlier. 60 multiplied by 0.2905=17.43g % Yield = Actual mass of product (13.74)/maximum theoretical mass(17.43)X100 = 78.8% Hope this helps

    The semantics of this subject as it is typically taught is all over the place. It bothers me that we call this a gram to gram conversion. It makes it seem like we are measuring the same chemicals when we say conversation, or like we are switching units. The semantics of it all had me confused for years. We are dealing with gram to gram ratios. And yes, while something is being converted, it is not grams being converted. So the name, "gram to gram conversion" is unessessarily and frustratingly distracting from the overall goal.
