How do you calculate yield and selectivity?

The molar yield of the product is calculated from its weight (132 g ÷ 88 g/mol = 1.5 mol). The % yield is calculated from the actual molar yield and the theoretical molar yield (1.5 mol ÷ 2.0 mol × 100% = 75%).

How do you calculate selectivity and conversion?

So the selectivity may be defined as the conversion of the reactant to the desirable product divided by the overall conversion of the reactant. It may also be stated as the rate of conversion of the feed to the desired product divided by the overall conversion rate of the feed.

What is the formula for selectivity?

Selectivity usually is abbreviated with the Greek letter α, and is calculated as: α = k₂ / k₁ where k₁ and k₂ are the retention factors, k, of the first and second peaks of a peak pair.

How do you convert yield to conversion?

That is, conversion factor = (required yield)/(recipe yield).
