%yield and % purity

C16H19N3O5S•3H2O,
What is yield

• The amount of product formed in a chemical reaction is called yield.

• Yield of a reaction depends upon the purity of reactants and


completion of the reactant under ideal conditions.

• Actual yield is the amount of product produced at the end of reaction.

• Theoretical yield is the estimated amount of the product calculated


following the mole ratio.
Production of Augmentin from co- amoxiclave
3 easy steps to calculate % Yield

• Find the moles of the reactant from the data provided.

• Apply mole ratio to ind the estimated amount of the


product. That is the theoretical yield.

• Apply the formula to calculate the % yield using the actual


yield given in the question.
f
Solution

• %y= actual Yield/theor yieldx 100

• 100/138=0.7246mole
• 1:1
• Aspirin= 0.7246mole
• Mass=180x0.7246=130.42g
• =121.2x100/130.42=92.92%
Starter
When 1.92 g of magnesium was heated in excess of oxygen, 3.0 g
magnesium oxide was formed. Calculate the percentage yield of
the reaction.
Ppq
Using % yield to ind mass of product/ actual yield
10kg of CaCO3 is decomposed and the % yield is 50 %. Calculate the mass of CaO
produced

f
Practice
Calculate the %yield, if 50 g of CaCO3 is heated and it
produces 21g of CaO.
If the reaction of 6.5 grams of C6H12O6 produces 2.5 grams
of CO2, what is the percent yield?
If the reaction of 125 grams of C6H6O3 reacts in excess of oxygen (O2)
and produces 51 grams of H2O, what is the percent yield?
20g of CaCO3 is decomposed and the % yield is 70 %.
Calculate the mass of CaO produced

Checking purity of amoxicillin
80 g of CuO = 64 of Cu

3.8 g = 64x3.8/80 =3.04g


of pure copper is required
• % purity = 3.04gx100/3.2g
Question

• An impure sample of calcium carbonate contains calcium hydroxide


as an impurity, 5g of this sample was allowed to react with excess of
hydrochloric acid. As a result of this reaction 900 cm3 of carbon
dioxide gas was produced. Calculate the % purity of the sample.
