An industrial chemist synthesised a sample of paracetamol.
The theoretical yield calculated for the reaction was 2.80 g. The final mass of the dried product obtained was 3.22 g, which contained some unreacted starting material.
This led to a percentage yield greater than 100%.
Calculate the percentage yield of paracetamol for this preparation.
