Why do we use the theoretical yield to calculate item 10?
When filtration is the only other processing step, the ethanol content in the final product will be determined by the proportioning of miscible ingredients during mixing (even though there will be a loss of product to the filtration step). Since filtration is not a selective process for dissolved components we would not expect the ethanol level to change. Click here to find worksheets to help you calculate items 9 and 10.
