Percent yield is a term that compares the amount actually produced in a chemical reaction versus how much could have been produced had all the reactants reacted fully.
Theoretical percent yield is always 100%, because theoretically, all of the reactants reacted.

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