prosenttisaanto
Prosenttisaanto, or percentage yield, is a concept used in chemistry to express the efficiency of a chemical reaction. It compares the actual amount of product obtained in an experiment to the theoretical maximum amount that could be produced based on stoichiometric calculations. The theoretical yield is calculated assuming the reaction goes to completion with perfect efficiency and no loss of material. The actual yield is the mass of product that is physically collected and measured after the reaction and any purification steps.
To calculate the percentage yield, the actual yield is divided by the theoretical yield and then multiplied
A low percentage yield can indicate problems with the experimental procedure, suggesting that improvements may be
