What is the other name of impure substance?

How do the values of the theoretical and actual yields generally compare?
The actual yield is the amount of products that are actually produced in the reaction. Theoretical yield is the maximum possible amount of products that can be obtained giving the amount of the limiting reactant. The actual yield is often lower than the theoretical yield due to reasons like incomplete reaction, loss of reactants when transferring between containers, impure reactants etc.
Why is the actual yield less than the theoretical yield?
All reactants have impurities and those impurities become the limiting factor for the reaction. This means that the actual yield will be lower because there will not be the total measured amount of reactants. Fewer reactants equals lower output.
