😂 Thanks! I came here looking for a measuring trick and left with a cookie-based negotiation strategy. Fair trade, I might just have to bake a batch now.

Yes, that's a good workaround. Simply wrap a strip of paper around the shaft, mark where it overlaps, then lay it flat and measure the length with a ruler (https://ruler-online.net). Divide the circumference by π (3.1416) and got an estimated diameter. I really did not know that we could measure...

I'm working on a small mechanical project at home and need to determine the outside diameter of a steel shaft. Unfortunately, I don't have a vernier caliper or a micrometer. Is there a reasonably accurate method to measure the shaft's diameter using common household tools? I'm not looking for...

For my case: Theoretical yield = 10.3 g Actual yield = 11.25 g After calculating the percent yield = 109.223% I also verified my calculation here: https://theonlinetools.net/percent-yield-calculator.html My question is: Does this mean the reaction produced more product than expected, or is...

Sorry, I forgot to multiply 100 in the equation. It's corrected now.

Also, when calculating percent yield, do we always use the same formula? I understand that percent yield compares actual and theoretical yield, but I want to make sure I'm doing the calculation correctly.
