About Yield
===About Yield===
: The theoretical '''yield''' of [[product]] form from a [[Chemical Reaction|chemical reaction]] can be calculated using the [[Balanced Symbol Equation|balanced symbol equation]] and the [[Relative Formula Mass|relative formula masses]] of all the [[molecule]]s involved.
: The experimental '''yield''' from a [[Chemical Reaction|chemical reaction]] is often not as large as the theoretical '''yield''' because not all of the [[reactant]]s will [[Chemical Reaction|react]]. This experimental '''yield''' is often expressed as a [[percentage]] of the theoretical '''yield''' and is known as the [[Percentage Yield]].
