The efficiency of chemical reactions can be checked by calculating its _ yield.
Correct answer: A. Percentage
- A. Percentage
- B. Actual
- C. Theoretical
- D. All of these options are correct
Explanation
The efficiency of a chemical reaction is determined by the percentage yield, that is the ratio of theoretical yield to actual yield multiplied by 100.

About Theoretical and Percentage Yield
Theoretical yield is the maximum product predicted from a balanced equation and the amount of limiting reactant. Work includes identifying the limiting reagent, comparing theoretical and actual yield, and calculating percentage yield using stoichiometric mole relationships.
