Your text talks about several sorts of “yield” when experiments are performed in the laboratory. Students often confuse these terms. Define, compare, and contrast what are meant by theoretical yield, actual yield, and percent yield.
Interpretation:
The theoretical yield, actual yield and percentage yield should be defined and compared.
Concept Introduction:
A balanced chemical equation is an equation that contains same number of atoms as well as of each element of reactants and products of reaction.
For example, the reaction between lead sulphide and oxygen is as follows:
The limiting reactant in a particular reaction has due to following properties:
Theoretical yield is also known as calculated yield. Theoretical yield is the amount of product which is theatrically calculates by the amount of limiting agent. It is the maximum amount of product which is formed in any reaction.
Other name of actual yield is observed yield. The actual yield for a reaction may be less than the theoretical yield is side reactions because of following reasons:
