It is an error (in science).
Percent Yield.
The percent yield is 100(30/34) or 88 %, to the justifiable number of significant digits.
Percent yield is calculated by dividing the actual yield (the amount of product obtained in a chemical reaction) by the theoretical yield (the amount of product that should be obtained according to stoichiometry) and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. This formula allows you to determine how efficiently a reaction was carried out by comparing the actual yield to the maximum possible yield.
Experimental yield and actual yield refer to the same thing, which is the amount of product obtained from a chemical reaction in a laboratory setting. Percent yield, on the other hand, is a measure of the efficiency of a reaction and is calculated by comparing the actual yield to the theoretical yield.
A yield of 10% a year would mean that if you put $100 in a savings acount, at the end of one year, you would have $110. Two years, $120. At 5% a year, you would have $105 at the end of the first year. $110 after 2 years.
In short, yes.
You did something wrong in your calculation or you have some impurity. You never get 100% yield.
Impurities in the substance can cause a greater percent yield. I recommend redoing the lab for better results.
Percent Yield.
Yes. You should double check your measurements and calculations. A yield over 100% is impossible unless the experiment was somehow contaminated.
why don't reactions give us a 100 percent yield?
a percent yield will be above 100 if the product used are wet or more likely impure.
the amount of product obtained over the amount possible multiplied by 100
Percent yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield * 100 hope that helps :)
Do you need it? Are you being told to calculate it? percent yield = (actual yield) divided by (theoretical yield) x 100
The percent yield is 100(30/34) or 88 %, to the justifiable number of significant digits.
Percentage yield = (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) x 100% The percentage yield for a reaction is a value between 0 to 100 percent.
