Because 100% means "everything". More than 100% means you're creating something from thin air.

If you have a pie and slice it into quarters, the most you can dish out is 4 pieces, because 4/4 = 1 = 100% To get 125%, you'd have to get an extra piece of pie without cutting the existing pieces or buying extra.

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 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.


The actual yield of the given reaction is 14.4what is your percent 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.


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

Percent Yield.


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

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 :)


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 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


How do you obtain percent yield of a reaction?

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


What would be the percent yield of the reaction be if the theoretical yield is 11.22 g but the actual yield was 8.67 g?

Percent yield can be calculated using the formula: (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%. In this case, it would be (8.67 g / 11.22 g) x 100% = 77.1% yield.
