a. Turn on analytical balance, wait until it reads 0.0000 g
b. Measure mass of scintillation vial
c. Transfer product to scintillation vial
d. Measure mass of scintillation vial with product
Determine actual mass of product by difference
TRANSFER FROM CONICAL VIAL TO SCINTILLATION VIAL – 25 mg lost at this step
actual yield = (theoretical mass of product)
– (total product loss)
Actual Yield = (mass of product & vial)
- (mass of vial)
% yield = [(actual yield) / (theoretical yield)] x 100
