Good day,

I am writing up a lab on, "Hypochlorite Oxidation of Methyl Ketones by Haloform Reaction".

We used acetophenone and bleach (NaOCl) as our reactants.
We got a percent yield of 8.7%.

I am wondering where to find resources for predicted percent yields.
I was also wondering how the amount of mixing effects percent yield.

Thankyou
