It measures the amount of reactants actually produced in a reaction compared to the amount that would theoretically be produced if 100% of the reactants were converted to products according to the stoichiometry of the reaction. It is found by:
actual moles of products ÷ predicted moles of products * 100%
The reaction may have not been complete yet, therefore resulting in a higher percent yield than 100%
% yield is the amount obtained from a reaction divided by the amount that can possibly be obtained times 100.% yield=(actual yield/theoretical yield) * 100%actual yield=the real amount of product that is actually produced in the reaction.theoretical yield=the imaginary amount of product that is likely to form.
if you received 85.0 percent back from your product then your percent yield is 85 percent.
81.93%
why don't reactions give us a 100 percent yield?
The percent yield of a reaction measures the efficiency of a reaction. The relationship of the actual yield to the theoretical yield is used to determine this.

percent yield
Percent Yield
(Actual yield / Theoretical yield) x 100%
The percent yield in this case is 89,25 %.
Percentage yield = (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) x 100% The percentage yield for a reaction is a value between 0 to 100 percent.
the amount of product obtained over the amount possible multiplied by 100
The yield is 82,45 %.
In this case the yield is 77,27 %.
The reaction may have not been complete yet, therefore resulting in a higher percent yield than 100%
This yield is very low - 13 %.
