What is the difference between the % error equation and the % yield equation?

% error = (expt-accepted)/accepted

% Yield = actual yield/theoretical yield

500

If told to make 400 mL of a 0.05 M NaCl solution from solid NaCl how would you set up the problem differently from if you are making the solution from 6M stock solution?

volume x concentration = moles

use molar mass to solve for grams of NaCl\

from a stock solution though... C1V1=C2V2
