It means that your reaction is extremely efficient, that your product is stable and that there are no side products. Your lab skills are also very good.
However, if you're an undergrad, you likely haven't checked the purity of this. It is likely to be contaminated with some of the excess starting material, catalyst, or side products

∙ 10y agoYou did something wrong in your calculation or you have some impurity. You never get 100% yield.
Percentage yield = (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) x 100% The percentage yield for a reaction is a value between 0 to 100 percent.
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
Impurities in the substance can cause a greater percent yield. I recommend redoing the lab for better results.
because 100 percent is the total or the whole and we cant exceed that because in other words it is everything
It is an error (in science).

calculating the percent yield.
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?
The percent yield can be calculated using the formula: (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%. Plugging in the numbers, we get (47.87 g / 50.26 g) x 100% = 95.28%.
Do you need it? Are you being told to calculate it? percent yield = (actual yield) divided by (theoretical yield) x 100
Percentage yield = (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) x 100% The percentage yield for a reaction is a value between 0 to 100 percent.
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
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.
Actual
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.
