What is theoretical yield?
The maximum possible product from a reaction
What does theoretical yield assume?
A perfect reaction with no loss
What is actual yield?
The amount of product actually obtained
What is percent yield?
A measure of reaction efficiency
What is the formula for percent yield?
(actual Ă· theoretical) Ă— 100
Why is actual yield usually lower than theoretical?
Losses, side reactions, or incomplete reactions
What does a high percent yield indicate?
A very efficient reaction
What does it mean if percent yield is over 100%?
There is an error or impurity
What must you calculate first before percent yield?
Theoretical yield
What is a common mistake with percent yield?
Forgetting to multiply by 100
What does percent yield compare?
Actual vs expected product
