6. __ What is percent yield in a chemical reaction? a. The ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield, multiplied by 100 b. The maximum amount of product possible from a reaction c. The amount of product actually obtained from a reaction d. The ratio of reactants to products in a balanced equation

## Step 1<br />The percent yield in a chemical reaction is a measure of the efficiency of a chemical reaction. It is defined as the ratio of the actual yield (the amount of product actually obtained from a reaction) to the theoretical yield (the maximum amount of product possible from a reaction), multiplied by 100.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that could be formed from the reactants, assuming that the reaction goes perfectly with no losses or side reactions.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The actual yield is the amount of product that is actually obtained from the reaction.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />The percent yield is calculated using the formula:<br />### \( \text{Percent Yield} = \left( \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \right) \times 100 \)<br /><br />## Step 5<br />The other options provided do not accurately define percent yield. Option b describes the theoretical yield, option c describes the actual yield, and option d describes the stoichiometry of a balanced chemical equation.
