Answer to Question #66853 in General Chemistry for Libbi

Question

A process should have produced 80 grams of a product but actually only produces 43 grams what is the efficiency of the process??

Answer 1

The efficiency could be calculated with this formula:
η= m_pract/m_theoret ×100 %
η – the efficiency of process, %
m_pract – mass actually produced
m_theoret – mass, which should be produced
η= 43/80×100=53.75 %=53.8 %

Answer: the efficiency of process is 53.8 %.
