Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Chemical Calculations (Section 1 - No. 35)

How does the actual yield of a reaction compare to the theoretical yield?
The actual yield is always higher than the theoretical yield.
The actual yield is always lower than the theoretical yield.
The actual yield is always equal to the theoretical yield.
The actual yield can be higher, lower, or equal to the theoretical yield.

Explanation

Actual yield is often lower due to incomplete reactions, side reactions, or loss of product.
