Question

The amount of product formed when a reaction is carried out in the laboratory is called?

Answer 1

The amount of product formed when a reaction is carried out in the laboratory is called the "actual yield." This is the quantity of product that is actually produced and measured during the experiment. In contrast, the "theoretical yield" is the maximum amount of product that could be formed based on the stoichiometry of the reaction, assuming complete conversion of reactants. The efficiency of the reaction can be assessed by comparing the actual yield to the theoretical yield, often expressed as a percentage known as the "percent yield."
