First we’ll review some important
definitions.
Yield–Simply means the
amount of a particular
product formed in a
chemical reaction
Theoretical Yield
Theoretical Yield
–(also called predicted yield)
Theoretical Yield
–(also called predicted yield)
is the amount of product
predicted by a
stoichiometric calculation.
In other words, if we’re given the
amounts of reactants and asked to
use stoichiometry to find the mass of
a product, then we are finding the
theoretical (or predicted ) yield of that
product.
For various reasons, when a reaction is carried
out in a real physical setting, like a lab or an
industrial site, we don’t always get the amount of
a product predicted.

Actual yield
For various reasons, when a reaction is carried

a product predicted.

Actual yield
– the amount of a product that is
actually obtained in a reaction.

If the actual yield of a particular product was
equal to the theoretical, or predicted yield, then
the percent yield would be 100%.

In many reactions that take place in labs and
industrial sites, the actual yield is less than the
theoretical, or predicted yield.

theoretical, or predicted yield.

In these cases, the percent yield is less than
