Solution

To calculate the percentage yield, you need to divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield and then multiply the result by 100. Here's how you do it:

  1. First, identify the actual yield and the theoretical yield. In this case, the actual yield is 16.9 grams and the theoretical yield is 25 grams.

  2. Next, divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield: 16.9 ÷ 25 = 0.676

  3. Then, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage: 0.676 x 100 = 67.6%

  4. Since the question asks for the answer without decimals, we round 67.6% to the nearest whole number, which is 68%.

So, the percentage yield is 68%.
