Actual Yield Calculator
Actual yield refers to the amount of product obtained from a chemical reaction or process, compared to
the theoretical yield which is the amount of product that could be obtained in an ideal or perfect
reaction. Actual yield is usually lower than the theoretical yield due to a variety of factors, such as
incomplete reactions, impurities in the starting materials, or losses during the purification or isolation of
the product. The actual yield is typically expressed as a percentage of the theoretical yield, known as the
percent yield.
Equation
Actual yield (g) | = | percent yield 100 × theoretical yield (g) |
Inputs
