The amount of ethanol that could be produced in this example is 76.71 g. This is the theoretical yield. However, when this reaction was carried out, only 62.74 g ethanol were actually produced. This is the actual yield.

What is the percent yield for this process?

.8179% 81.79% 122.3%

Good!

Remember to multipy by 100%.

Percent yield is equal to actual yield divided by theoretical yield (multiplied by 100%).
