Percent Yield Calculator
This free online percent yield calculator calculates the percent yield by using the values of actual yield and theoretical yield.
Percent yield is actually a ratio that allows you to calculate the effectiveness of a chemical reaction. It is calculated as the actual yield divided by the theoretical yield and multiplied by 100. If we have a condition that actual and theoretical yield is the same then we have the percent yield is 100%. This is somehow impossible as we get the side products in a reaction and some of the reactants are wasted during the reaction.

Formula of Percent Yield Calculator
The formula to calculate the percent yield is as follows
Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100
Where,
Actual yield = amount of product that is obtained by a chemical reaction.
Theoretical yield = obtained from the stoichiometric or balanced equation.
Note:

Example
If we have the amount of actual yield as 5g, and the amount of theoretical yield as 7g. Then find the percent yield.
Given data
actual yield = 5 g
theoretical yield = 7 g
To Find
percent yield = ?
Solution
By using the formula listed below, you can find the percent yield.
Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100
Putting values in the formula:
percent yield = ( 5 / 7) * 100
percent yield = 71.43%
