In my experience, the theoretical yield is usually higher, if everything is measured accurately.
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.
# Determine the limiting reagent; # Calculate the expected yield if the reaction goes to 100% completion. # Divide the actual yield by the expected yield and multiply by 100. The result is percentage yield.
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.
The actual yield of a reaction product is always less than the yield from the chemical equation. This is because of error.
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.
An actual yield can be more than a theoretical yield due to incomplete reaction conversion, impurities in reactants, or unexpected side reactions. These factors can result in more product being formed than predicted by theoretical calculations.
The actual yield is less than the theoretical yield.
This is usually referred to as the ACTUAL YIELD of that substance.

No, actual yield cannot exceed 100% in a reaction. A yield of 110% would imply that more product was obtained than theoretically possible based on stoichiometry, which is not physically possible. It usually indicates experimental error or incomplete purification of the product.
No, the percent yield would not be affected by the units of the actual and theoretical yield as long as they are consistent. Percent yield is calculated as (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%, where the units cancel out in the division.
# Determine the limiting reagent; # Calculate the expected yield if the reaction goes to 100% completion. # Divide the actual yield by the expected yield and multiply by 100. The result is percentage yield.
To calculate percent yield, you would use the formula: (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100%. If the actual yield is 14.4 and the theoretical yield is not provided, the percent yield cannot be calculated accurately without the theoretical yield.
If this is the actual yield, real amount produced, then you need the theoretical yield to find the percent yield. % yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100
Yield=Desired/Actual
Yield=Desired/Actual
actual yield multiply by 100 = % yield theoretical yield
