I need to find the percent yeild of trans-p-anisalacetophenone made from p-anisa

Question

Explanation / Answer

Since you didn't provide any data i'll tell you the steps: Percent yield = actual/theoretical Actual is what you got at the end of the experiment, keep that handy To find theoretical determine what your balanced formula: anisaldehyde + acetophenone --> p-anisalacetophenone + h2O Theyre all 1:1, good. Now find your limiting reagent g of your p-anisaldehyde / molar weight of p-anisaldehyde = moles of this g of your acetophenone / molar weight of acetophenone = moles of this Between those two the one with the lower amount of moles will be your limiting reagent. Now we find the mass of your theoretical p-anisalacetophenone moles of limiting reagent * mass of p-anisalacetophenone = theoretical amount Finally divide your experimental result by this result to get the % yield, also itll be a decimal less than one so multiply by 100 to get percent.
