Answer to Problem 85A

No, percent yield cannot be more than 100%.

It was calculated according to the relation given below

Percent Yield = Actual yieldTheoretical yield×100

Explanation of Solution

No, percent yield cannot be more than 100%.

It is calculated according to the relation given below

Percent Yield = Actual yieldTheoretical yield×100

This is because actual yield cannot be greater than theoretical yield. So ratio of actual yield to theoretical yield is always equal or less than 1. The only possibility is if there is an impurity present in the compound but, generally it is always less than or equal to 100%.
