What is Percent Recovery?

Percent recovery is a term most used in chemistry to describe the amount of recovered substance after a purification process. This purification process could be anything from removing a chemical or separating a specific chemical entirely.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the percent recovery:

\[ PR = \frac{8}{10} \times 100 = 80\% \]

The Percent Recovery (PR) is 80%.
