Question

Which statement correctly describes the actual yield and the theoretical yield of a reaction? (1 point)

The actual yield is calculated from the reactant amounts, but the theoretical yield must be measured for each instance of a reaction
The actual yield is calculated from the amount of the limiting reactant, and the theoretical yield is calculated from the amount of the excess
The actual yield depends on the reaction conditions, but the theoretical yield varies only with reactant amounts.
The actual yield represents the maximum yield possible, and the theoretical yield assumes perfect reaction conditions.

Answer 1

C: The actual yield depends on the reaction conditions, but the theoretical yield varies only with reactant amounts

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the options, the correct one is Option C because the actual yield usually depends on the conditions of the reaction, while the theoretical yield usually varies with only the amount of reactant.
