because 100 percent is the total or the whole and we cant exceed that because in other words it is everything

Why should the maximum percent yield never be above 100?
Because the yield can never exceed the quantity in the original mix. ie if an ore sample contains 3% of a mineral, if that 3% is extracted totally, then the yield is 100% and cannot be more because that's all there is in the sample.
What is the Formula for percentage yield?
Percentage yield = (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) x 100% The percentage yield for a reaction is a value between 0 to 100 percent.
What is the percent yield of 122 grams of product?
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
If you calculated a percentage yield of 100 percent what does this mean?
You did something wrong in your calculation or you have some impurity. You never get 100% yield.
What would cause a percent yield to be over 100 percent?
Impurities in the substance can cause a greater percent yield. I recommend redoing the lab for better results.
How is percent yield caculated?
Percent yield = (actual yield/expected yield) x 100
Why should the maximum percent yield never be above 100?
Because the yield can never exceed the quantity in the original mix. ie if an ore sample contains 3% of a mineral, if that 3% is extracted totally, then the yield is 100% and cannot be more because that's all there is in the sample.
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
Why is the percent yield above 100?
a percent yield will be above 100 if the product used are wet or more likely impure.
Why don't reactions give us a 100 percent yield?
why don't reactions give us a 100 percent yield?
How is percent yield calculated?
Actual
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
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 :)
What is the Formula for percentage yield?
Percentage yield = (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) x 100% The percentage yield for a reaction is a value between 0 to 100 percent.
What is the percent yield of 122 grams of product?
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
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%
