Why is the percent yield above 100?

a percent yield will be above 100 if the product used are wet or more likely impure.


Can percent yield be more then 100 percent?

In manufacturing, no. A yield greater than 100% would mean that you put a certain amount of materials into the front end of the assembly line, and you got more operational, salable units off the back end than the materials were intended to comprise. In banking and investing, you have to hope the yield is more than 100% ... that your investment is worth more at the end of the year than it was when you invested it.

The reaction may have not been complete yet, therefore resulting in a higher percent yield than 100%


How is percent yield caculated?

Percent yield = (actual yield/expected yield) x 100


Dividing the actual yield by the theoretical and multiplying it by 100 is called?

calculating the percent yield.


Is experimental yield the same as percent yield or actual yield?

The percentage yield is the Actual Yield divided by the Theoretical Yield, all multiplied by 100. Percentage = [(Actual)/(Theoretical)] x 100
