## Quick Answer

Calculate the efficiency of a chemical reaction. Enter the actual yield and theoretical yield to find the percent yield.

## Definition

Percent yield is a stoichiometric metric that measures the efficiency of a chemical reaction, expressed as the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield multiplied by one hundred. The actual yield is the quantity of product obtained from a laboratory experiment, whereas the theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product predicted by calculations. A percent yield calculator computes the reaction efficiency, actual yield, or theoretical yield. Chemist and students use this calculation to assess reaction success and identify experimental losses.

## How to Use

1. **Choose target variable** — Select whether you want to calculate the percent yield, actual yield, or theoretical yield.
2. **Enter yield amounts** — Type the known yield values in grams, moles, or other compatible units.
3. **Read reaction efficiency** — View the calculated percentage indicating the efficiency of the chemical reaction.
