  1. Question 1

    Q1. A reaction theoretically produces 10g of isopropyl alcohol from a Grignard reagent, but only 8.5g is collected. What is the percentage yield?

    • A) 85%
    • B) 90%
    • C) 15%
    • D) 8.5%

    Answer: 85%

    Explanation: Yield = (Actual/Theoretical)*100 = (8.5/10)*100 = 85%. Option C represents the percentage loss rather than the actual yield.
