Answer: The comparison of the experimental amount of product to the calculated amount : Percentage yield

The calculated amount of product under ideal conditions : Theoretical yield

The amount of product experimentally produced : Experimental yield or actual yield

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical yield is to determine how much of the product should be formed based on stoichiometry of the given reaction. It is the maximum amount of product that could be formed from the given amounts of reactants.

Experimental yield or actual yield is the amount of product that is actually formed when the reaction is carried out in the laboratory.

Percentage yield is the ratio of the experimental yield to the theoretical yield, expressed as a percentage.
