Question

What is the purpose for a company to determine percent yield of a product and not just the theoretical yield?

• The percent yield enables the calculation for the exact amount of product that can be expected, which may help determine profit, an accurate amount of reactant to use, and the efficiency of the system.
• The percent yield enables the calculation of the maximum amount of error that can be expected, which may help determine loss of profit, minimal amount of reactant to use, and the inefficiency of the system.
• The percent yield enables the calculation of the maximum amount of product that can be expected, which may help determine loss of profit, minimal amount of reactant to use, and the inefficiency of the system.
