Explanation & Answer

If a to b has a yield of 68% or 0.68

Then if you began with 1 g of A, you would only produce 0.68 g of B.


Now the yield from B to C is 19% or 0.19.

You have 0.68 g B from the first reaction.  The amount of C would be 0.68g* 19% = 0.68*0.19 = 0.1292 g C


So the total percent yield would be:

0.1292 g C / 1 g C (if yields were 100%) * 100 % = 12.92%
