The actual may be less than theoretical yield due to which of the following reason
Correct answer: D. All of these
- A. Side reactions may produce by product
- B. Some reactions are reversible
- C. Mechanical losss takes place due to filtration and distillation
- D. All of these
Explanation
This answer is correct as all the above options effects the actual yield of a chemical reaction hence this is the best possible option.

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.
