What are some factors that might cause our percent yield to be greater than 100%? What are some factors that might cause it to be less than 100%? Make sure you discuss specific cases of how both might happen.

Verified Answer :

In the field of science, usually, the product of an experiment is
computed ahead to understand if it reached a specific objective. It would reach
greater than 100% of percent yield if the factors include faster reaction rates;
proper handling of the reactants, no outside contaminants, and the procedure of
the experiment is followed smoothly. It would reach lesser than 100% percent yield
if the experiment is not followed, external factors such as contamination from
the environment (wind, moisture, etc).
