The percentage yield is calculated using:
percentage yield=actual yieldtheoretical yield×100 \text{percentage yield} = \frac{\text{actual yield}}{\text{theoretical yield}} \times 100 percentage yield=theoretical yieldactual yield×100Use the information in Table 1 to calculate the percentage yield of ethyl ethanoate obtained in this preparation.
Table 1
| Mass in g | |
|---|---|
| Mass of ethanoic acid used | 12.00 |
| Mass of ethyl ethanoate obtained from the reaction | 11.44 |
| Theoretical mass of ethyl ethanoate formed | 17.60 |
