Question

The percent yield (isolation yield) of guaifenesin isolated from a 650 mg tablet containing 400 mg dose of drug, can be expressed as: Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer:

61.54%

Explanation:

Hello,

To calculate the percent yield of a product, we express it as ratio between the actual yield to the theoretical yield multiplied by 100.

Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100

Actual yield = 400mg

Theoretical yield = 650mg

Percent yield = (400 / 650) × 100

Percent yield = 0.6154 × 100

Percent yield = 61.54%

Percent yield of guaifenesin in the drug is 61.54%
