CHM 101 Stoichiometry of Chemical Reactions Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

How does experimental procedure affect actual yield?
Options
A It always increases yield
B Chemists inevitably lose small quantities of material in most investigations, so actual yield will be less than theoretical yield
Correct Answer
C It has no effect
D It only affects theoretical yield
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Regardless of how careful chemists are, they inevitably lose small quantities of material in most investigations. If some mass is lost, the actual yield will be less than the theoretical yield.

Hint

The notes explain this factor.
