Theoretical yield is always less than the actual yield because
Correct answer: D. The given statement is not correct
- A. Some product is lost in the experiment
- B. Reversible reaction may occur
- C. Errors are made in weighing the reactants and the products
- D. The given statement is not correct
Explanation
This answer is correct because actual yield is always less than theoretical yield as theoretical yield is the maximum possible yield in a chemical reaction.

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.
