Short question!!

What are some experimental factors that could cause the percent yield to be less than 100%?

Answer 1

Some factors that could cause the percent yield to be less than 100% include

1. If the position of equilibrium lies to the right,

2. If the concentration of the products is greater than the concentration of the reactants

Answer 2

This is one of the explanations I could think of,

Many reactions are incomplete and the reactants are not completely converted to products. Understandably due to loss in the process or inefficiency of the chemical reaction
