Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The explanation for the fact that the students often report percentage yields greater than 100% is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Precipitation reaction is a type of reaction in which two or more ionic compounds react with each other in aqueous medium to form an insoluble compound that is called the precipitate.

The percentage yield of a compound is calculated by the ratio of experimental yield to theoretical yield.
