Theoretical yield is how much product it is possible to obtain, based on a chemical equation. The actual yield is how much product you ACTUALLY obtain from an experiment. Comparing them is important because they can point you toward improving your technique to maximize your yield (which is the usually something to strive for), and it can give you a maximum yield you can expect for a particular experimental technique.

Why is actual yield smaller?
The measured amount of product.
The substance whose mass is used to calculate the theoretical yields of the products is known as what?
If I recall my chemistry class from 10 years ago correctly, that's the limiting reagent.
What is the reaction of U3O8 to UF6?
U3O8 + HNO3 yields UNO3 + H2 yields UO2 + HF yields UF4 + F2 yields UF6
Is this balanced zn plus cl yields zn plus cl2?
No. This equation is not balanced and does not even represent any reaction. The equation for the actual reaction between elemental zinc and chlorine is: Zn + Cl2 => ZnCl2.
When a monosaccharide is oxidized it yields what?
CO2+H2O
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.
In a chemical equation what does yields mean?
A; The amount of product we obtain after a chemical reaction is called yield.There are two types of yield one is actual yield and the other is the theoretical yield .Actual yield is that yield that we obtain originally in a reaction while the theoretical yield is calculated through a chemical equation. Mostly actual yield is less then theoretical yield because of crystallization, filtration,distillation etc
Why is actual yield smaller?
The measured amount of product.
When computing standard cost variances the difference between actual and standard price multiplied by actual quantity yields what?
Price Variance
The substance whose mass is used to calculate the theoretical yields of the products is known as what?
If I recall my chemistry class from 10 years ago correctly, that's the limiting reagent.
What is the theoretical yield of reaction?
The amount of product that is possible in a reaction.
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.
What is the reaction of U3O8 to UF6?
U3O8 + HNO3 yields UNO3 + H2 yields UO2 + HF yields UF4 + F2 yields UF6
Write balanced equation for KCIO3 yields KCL O2 and unbalanced reaction?
The actual formula is KClO3 (with a lowercase L) Balanced equation: 2KClO3 --> 2KCl + 3O2
What is the GDP gap?
A GDP gap is the difference between actual GDP and potential GDP. The calculation of the GDP gap is actual output minus potential output. If this calculation yields a positive number it is called an inflationary gap and indicates the increased growth of aggregate demand is outpacing the growth of aggregate supply which may possibly create inflation. If the calculation yields a negative number it is called a recessionary gap- possible signifying deflation.
Why do farmers increase crop yields?
Higher yields = increased income.
Fertilizers have high yields?
no fertilizer help produce high yields
