actual yield 15.0 g15.0\,\mathrm{g}15.0g, theoretical yield 18.0 g18.0\,\mathrm{g}18.0g
actual yield 3.20 g3.20\,\mathrm{g}3.20g, theoretical yield 40.0 g40.0\,\mathrm{g}40.0g
actual yield 24.0 g24.0\,\mathrm{g}24.0g, theoretical yield 30.0 g30.0\,\mathrm{g}30.0g
actual yield 12.8 g12.8\,\mathrm{g}12.8g, theoretical yield 20.0 g20.0\,\mathrm{g}20.0g
