    Chemistry Why percent yield is sometimes less than 100% in chemistry experiments?

    For my case: Theoretical yield = 10.3 g Actual yield = 11.25 g After calculating the percent yield = 109.223% I also verified my calculation here: https://theonlinetools.net/percent-yield-calculator.html My question is: Does this mean the reaction produced more product than expected, or is...

    Sorry, I forgot to multiply 100 in the equation. It's corrected now.

    Chemistry Why percent yield is sometimes less than 100% in chemistry experiments?

    Also, when calculating percent yield, do we always use the same formula? I understand that percent yield compares actual and theoretical yield, but I want to make sure I'm doing the calculation correctly.
