How do you calculate percentage and percent recovery for this?

if you have .596g cellulose final.

how do you do this exactly? what is the process?



thank you!How do you calculate percentage and percent recovery for this?
Need more information!How do you calculate percentage and percent recovery for this?
the 0.596g cellulose is your actual yield

i don't know the reaction since you lack any information in your question

anyway: determine the theoretical yield of cellulose from the mass and/or moles of reactants you have.



X + 2Y --%26gt; 3Z

1 mole of X will yield 3moles of Z

2 moles of Y will yield 3 moles of Z

if you do the stoichimetrical calculations, you will determine what you are supposed to get fromt he reaction.

% recovery or % yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%



% error = theoretical - actual / theoretical x 100% can't have a -% so just take the absolute value
