Formula
Actual Yield = Theoretical Yield × (% Yield / 100) | % Yield = (Actual / Theoretical) × 100
Frequently Asked Questions
What is actual yield?
Actual yield is the amount of product actually obtained from a chemical reaction in the lab. It is always less than or equal to the theoretical yield due to losses, side reactions, and incomplete reactions.
What is a good percent yield?
In academic labs, 70-90% is considered good. In industrial synthesis, yields above 90% are often required for economic viability. Multistep syntheses may have lower overall yields.
