Start with a

Work out the relative

mass of each ractant and product. For example CaCO

- you add together the relative atomic mass of Calcium + Carbon + (Oxygenx3)
Write the relative formula mass under each part of the balanced equation.

Yields
The yield of a synthesis is the quantity of product created from known amounts of starting materials.

yield is the mass of product after separating it from the mixture, purifying and drying it.

yield is the mass of product expected if the reaction goes perfectly and there are no losses while purifying, transferring the chemicals etc.

yield is always less than the

yield because in real life there are small losees.
Percentage Yield
This is the percentage of the

yield that is actually obtained.
Percentage yield = (actual yield x 100)/theoretical yield
