In chemical reactions, the theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that a chemical reaction can create based on the chemical equation. Most of the reactions are not efficient, which means if you perform the reaction, you\u2019ll end up with a smaller amount than the actual yield. So let\u2019s know how to calculate percent yield correctly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is Actual Yield Less Than Theoretical Yield?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The actual yield is the mass of products obtained from the reaction, which is always less than the theoretical yield. So do you know why it is always less than the theoretical yield? Let\u2019s know in detail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Suppose the yield percent of your reaction is 90%. It means the reaction is 90% efficient, and 10% material failed to react. Thus, in this case, the actual yield is 90%, and the theoretical yield is 100%\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
