When you run a chemical reaction in the lab, you often don’t get the full amount of product that calculations predict. That’s where percent yield comes in—it tells us how efficient a reaction is.

In this video, we break down percent yield step by step using a real example. We start by calculating the theoretical yield (the maximum amount of product we could make) and compare it to the actual yield (what we actually get in the lab). Then, we use a simple formula to find the percent yield and see how close we are to 100%.
Percent yield is key for chemistry labs, AP Chemistry, General Chemistry, and stoichiometry problems.
