Why is actual yield smaller?

Answer 1

The measured amount of product.

Answer 2

The theoretical yield of a reaction is the amount of product calculated by using the limiting reactant. The actual yield is the measured amount of product that is produced during a reaction. The percent yield is found by dividing the actual yield by the theoretical yield.
a scientist should observe the natural worl without changing or destroying it

Answer 3

There are several reasons why actual yields are smaller than theoretical yields when synthesizing compounds. There are usually small side reactions where the reactants make products other than the desired product, and there are physical losses of reactants and products during synthesis: it gets stuck to glassware, filters, tubing, and you can never get that last drop...

Answer 4

Actual yield can be smaller than theoretical yield due to inefficiencies in the reaction process such as side reactions, incomplete conversion of reactants, or loss of product during isolation. Other factors like impurities, temperature, pressure, and human errors can also contribute to a lower actual yield.

Answer 5

the amout of product recovered from a reaction

Answer 6

The amount of product which should be produced from a given amount of reactants where one of the reactants is a limiting reagent.

Answer 7

actual yield is that which can we pack for supply to those who required.

Answer 8

1.63 is allowed to react with 10.3 , producing 1.10 .
