Yield
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-013703
The amount of product obtained from a chemical reaction or process, expressed as a fraction or percentage of the theoretical maximum. This value indicates the efficiency of the conversion of reactants into desired products. It is often calculated by dividing the actual moles of product by the theoretical moles of product and multiplying by 100%.
