Frequently asked questions
Divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiply by 100. Getting 8 g from a possible 10 g is an 80% yield.
It is the maximum product a reaction could make based on the limiting reactant, assuming a perfect, complete reaction.
Side reactions, incomplete reactions and losses during transfer and purification all reduce the actual yield.
It should not. A value above 100% usually means impurities or leftover solvent inflated the measured product mass.
