It measures the amount of reactants actually produced in a reaction compared to the amount that would theoretically be produced if 100% of the reactants were converted to products according to the stoichiometry of the reaction. It is found by:
actual moles of products ÷ predicted moles of products * 100%

∙ 10y agoThe reaction may have not been complete yet, therefore resulting in a higher percent yield than 100%
% yield is the amount obtained from a reaction divided by the amount that can possibly be obtained times 100.% yield=(actual yield/theoretical yield) * 100%actual yield=the real amount of product that is actually produced in the reaction.theoretical yield=the imaginary amount of product that is likely to form.
if you received 85.0 percent back from your product then your percent yield is 85 percent.

why don't reactions give us a 100 percent yield?
Experimental yield and actual yield refer to the same thing, which is the amount of product obtained from a chemical reaction in a laboratory setting. Percent yield, on the other hand, is a measure of the efficiency of a reaction and is calculated by comparing the actual yield to the theoretical yield.
The process you are describing is known as calculating the percent yield. It is a measure of how efficient a chemical reaction is by comparing the actual amount of product obtained (actual yield) with the maximum possible amount that could be obtained (theoretical yield) under ideal conditions.
The relationship used to determine the percent yield of a chemical reaction is calculated by dividing the actual yield of a product by the theoretical yield, then multiplying by 100. This formula helps to determine the efficiency of a reaction by comparing the amount of product obtained to the amount that could be obtained under ideal conditions.
Actual
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.
The theoretical yield of a reaction refers to the maximum amount of product that can be obtained based on stoichiometry calculations. In this case, the actual yield is 0.86g of acetaminophen. To calculate the percent yield, divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield (obtained from stoichiometry calculations) and multiply by 100. Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100.
(Actual yield / Theoretical yield) x 100%
the amount of product obtained over the amount possible multiplied by 100
The percent yield is the actual yield divided by the theoretical yield, multiplied by 100%. In the reaction of NH3 and HCl to form NH4Cl, the theoretical yield is determined by the limiting reactant. If the actual yield of NH4Cl obtained from the reaction is 80%, for example, the percent yield would be 80%.
Percentage yield = (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) x 100% The percentage yield for a reaction is a value between 0 to 100 percent.
A high percent yield indicates that most of the reactants were successfully converted into the desired product during a chemical reaction. It suggests that the reaction was efficient and effective in producing the intended product.
