Hello peeps.
How should I calculate a yield based on weight?
Lets say I have put in 25g of Na2WO4, mixed it up with H3PO4 and crashed out the compound with KCl.
Compounds formula K6[P2W18O64]. Yield = 7g
I want to calculate yield based on the weight of W.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick reply.
So I calculated 7g/M(K6[P2W18O64]) = 0.0015 mol
18*M(W) = 3311.11 g/mol
Then x = 0.0015 mol * 3311.11 g/mol = 4.96g
As I understand x is W weight in my product mixture. How do I calculate the yield percentage now?
Is it m(W product mixture) / m(W in 25g of Na2WO4) * 100% ?
