Theoretical, Actual and Percent Yield

Pick a real run, then slide the dial. Two bars and a gauge compare what the equation promised with what the flask really gave, and the arithmetic is shown underneath.

The comparison

Bars and a gauge comparing theoretical and actual yield

Where the theoretical yield came from

What are you solving for?

Pick a run

Two steps in a row

Why routes stay short. Losses multiply instead of adding, so every extra step cuts into the final haul.
