because 100 percent is the total or the whole and we cant exceed that because in other words it is everything
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.
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
You did something wrong in your calculation or you have some impurity. You never get 100% yield.
Impurities in the substance can cause a greater percent yield. I recommend redoing the lab for better results.

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
Percent yield is calculated as (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100%. In this case, the actual yield is 30g and the theoretical yield is 34g. So, percent yield = (30g / 34g) * 100% = 88.24%.
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.
