Question
Can the actual yield ever be greater than the theoretical yield for a chemical reaction?
Step 1
The actual yield is the amount of product that is actually produced when the chemical reaction is carried out in an experiment. The theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that could be formed from the reactants, according to the balanced chemical Show more…

Can the percent yield of a chemical reaction ever exceed $100 \% ?$
In a chemical reaction, what is the theoretical yield? The theoretical yield is the amount of product actually produced by a chemical reaction. The theoretical yield is the amount of product produced in a theoretically predicted chemical reaction. The theoretical yield is the percentage of the attained product. The theoretical yield is the amount of product that can be made based on the limiting reactant.
