Sure! Let’s talk about some common mistakes you should avoid when figuring out percent yield and theoretical yield.

1. Watch Your Significant Figures: Always keep track of significant figures in your calculations!

2. Make Sure Your Equations Are Balanced: Before you move on, check that your chemical equations are balanced. This step is really important!

3. Don’t Confuse Theoretical and Actual Yield: Remember, the actual yield is what you really get from your experiment. Theoretical yield is what you expect to get based on your calculations!

To find the percent yield, use this formula:

$\text{Percent Yield} = \left(\frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}}\right) \times 100\%$

If you avoid these mistakes, you'll do great in your chemistry class! 🌟
