Calculating percentage yield

?
What can relative formula mass calculations be used for?
finding out how much product should be made (predicted yield)
1 of 5
What happens in actual practice, with predicted yield?
its less due to losses in practical methods used
2 of 5
What is formula for percentage yield?
percentage yield = actual yield /divided by/ predicted yield times by 100
3 of 5
why do industrial processes need to have a high percentage yield? (1)
to reduce the amount of reactants wasted (wasteful and costly)
4 of 5
why do industrial processes need to have a high percentage yield? (2)
reduce their costs by ensuring enough reactants are used
