Topic: Percent Yield and Percent Error

This episode simplifies the concepts of percent yield and percent error. It explains that percent yield measures the efficiency of a chemical reaction by comparing the actual amount of product obtained to the theoretical amount calculated from stoichiometry. It discusses factors that can cause yields to be less than 100%, such as side reactions or material loss. Percent error, on the other hand, measures the accuracy of a lab measurement by comparing an experimental value to an accepted value. The episode provides examples for calculating both, highlighting the importance of these concepts in evaluating and improving chemical experiments.
