When all the limiting reactant is consumed in the reaction, the operational yield _______________ the relative yield?
Correct answer: A. Equals
- A. Equals
- B. Is smaller than
- C. Is greater than
- D. Can be either greater or smaller than (depends on the type of reaction)
Explanation
When the limiting reactant is completely consumed, the amount used as the basis for operational yield is the same stoichiometric reactant amount used in defining relative yield. Thus the two yields become equal.
