Chapter 2, Problem 54AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The percentage yield of the given reaction for the production of acetylene is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The percentage yield of a reaction can be calculated as follows:

  $\text{yield=}\frac{\text{actual yield}}{\text{theoretical yield}}\text{×100\%}$

The theoretical yield means the amount of the product which is obtained by calculations. The actual yield is the yield which is obtained via an experiment.
