  • Use the relationship moles equals mass divided by M r
  • Work out reacting masses from a balanced equation
  • Calculate a percentage yield

Active recall

Quick check

Answer each question before opening the answer.

How do you calculate the number of moles from a mass?

Moles = mass ÷ relative formula mass (Mr).

How is percentage yield calculated?

Percentage yield = (actual yield ÷ theoretical yield) × 100.
