Correct answer: 30
-
Let the initial amount of starting material be units.
-
Reaction I has percentage yield . So, product formed after reaction I: units.
-
Reaction II has percentage yield . This acts on the product obtained from reaction I. So, final product formed: units.
-
Therefore, the overall yield is:
-
Equivalently, overall yield is the product of the fractional yields:
Hence, the overall yield of the complete reaction is:
