wolfe8 · Answer

Wouldn't it be the percent yield?

australopithecus · Answer

Percent yield = actual yield/Theoretical yield

This essentially tells you how much of your reactant went into forming the product. Theoretical yield being the absolute max amount of product you can obtain with the amount of reactant you used. Actual yield being just the amount you obtained experimentally.
