Which of the following is NOT true about "yield"? * The percent yield is the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield. The value of the actual yield must be given in order for the percent yield to be calculated. The actual yield may be different from the theoretical yield because insufficient limiting reagent was used. The actual yield may be different from the theoretical yield because reactions do not always go to completion.
