Answer:

C)95.2

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Expected yield  = 5000kg

Experimental  yield  = 4760kg

Unknown:

Percentage yield  = ?

Solution:

The percentage yield of the substance is determined by find the ratio of the true experimental yield to the expect yield and multiply by 100;

  Percentage yield  = [tex]\frac{4760}{5000}[/tex] x 100 = 95.2%
