Actual yield is always less than theoretical yield due to?
Correct answer: D. All of these options are correct
- A. Operational losses
- B. Reaction reversibility
- C. Side reaction
- D. All of these options are correct
Explanation
Usually, the actual yield is lower than the theoretical yield because few reactions truly proceed to completion (i.e., aren't 100% efficient) or because not all of the product in a reaction is recovered.

About Fundamental Concepts of Chemistry
Mole calculations connect mass, number of particles and Avogadro's number, while balanced equations provide the mole ratios used in stoichiometry. Questions cover limiting and excess reactants, theoretical yield and percentage yield, including identifying which reactant is consumed first and comparing the actual product with the maximum possible product.
