Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: 62% der Theorie
Hello proz:
I am proofreading a chemical patent involving hair colorants. This comes up in the examples section. They are giving examples of chemical compositions and they are are synthesized. I need help with the meaning of 62% der Theorie. I am assuming it means that they were able to obtain 62% of the amount that is was theoretically possible to obtain:
Text:
A. Das erhaltene Rohprodukt wird an Kieselgel mit Heptan/Essigsäureethylester (8:1) gereinigt.
Es werden 2,0 g (0.071 oz) (62 % der Theorie) 5-(2,2-Dibromoethenyl)-2-nitrophenol als gelbes Pulver erhalten.

Proposed translation:
The yield was 2.0 g (0.071 oz) (62 % of the theoretical amount ) of 5-(2,2-dibromoethenyl)-2-nitrophenol obtained as a yellow powder.

Thanks in advance.

Sonya Gerisch (asker): 9:52pm Mar 24, 2005: Hi Ingo,
Yes, that is what I was trying to find out. Is it common in an English patent to say "62% of theory"? That sounds very awkward to me and I have never seen it before. I cannot find that type of wording in any other patents, but if others have seen it, that makes me feel a bit better.
Thanks.

Thank you to everyone. Probably all answers are ok; I am choosing this one because it came in fairly quickly and, from a linguistic perspective, is grammatically preferred.

62 % of theory

Erklärung:
Meaning 62 % of the calculated (theoretical) amount were obtained.

Of course, 62 % of the theoretical amount is also fine, simply saying of theory is more common.

Well, like I said the translation is fine, but I\'ve seen \"of theory\" more often than this and I\'ve done my share of translating chemical patents. Anyway, the translation is perfectly fine (lucky I was just answering on your other question or I wouldn\'t have seen your comment ;-))
