MCAT percent yield chemistry

[forumuser927]

Hello! Does everyone think we would ever get a direct MCAT question that asks to calculate percent yield?

It's fair game, and they definitely ask calculation based questions. So it could be a free-standing question. But I would personally think if it showed up, it might be more of a question about comparing which structure has the greatest mass percent of a specific element (like N, C, or O) where you could throw choices away without invoking much math.

Something like comparing the mass percent of oxygen in DNA to RNA would be a clever way to invoke mass percent.
