Percent yield greater than 100% can occur due to impurities in the final product, incomplete reactions, or errors in the measurements taken during the experiment. It is a sign that not all of the reactants were converted to the desired product, leading to a higher yield than theoretically expected.

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.


What sources of experimental error lead to a percent yield higher than 100 percent?

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


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

Percent Yield.


Why would your percent yield be higher than 100 percent?

impure products or inaccurate calculations is usually the reason


How do you obtain percent yield of a reaction?

the amount of product obtained over the amount possible multiplied by 100


Why don't reactions give us a 100 percent yield?

If the actual yield of Mg3N2 is 47.87 g and the theoretical is 50.26 g What is the percent yield?

Percent yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield * 100 hope that helps :)


If calculating the percentage yield be more than 100 percent what does this indicate?

error in calculation or your final product is impure and has residuals of chemicals that were supposed to dissappear


What if i don't know the yield percent?

Do you need it? Are you being told to calculate it? percent yield = (actual yield) divided by (theoretical yield) x 100


When NH3 is prepared from 28g of N2 and excess H2 the theoretical yield is 34 g of NH3 when this reaction is carried out in an experiment only 30g is produced what is the percent yield?

The percent yield is 100(30/34) or 88 %, to the justifiable number of significant digits.


What is the percent yield if the actual yield from this reaction is 306g?

To calculate the percent yield, you need the theoretical yield of the reaction. The percent yield is calculated using the formula: [ \text{Percent Yield} = \left( \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \right) \times 100 ] If you provide the theoretical yield, I can help you determine the percent yield.
