- Why actual yield is always less than the maximum yield
- Product may be lost in transfer
- e.g. when filtering products and transferring solutions from one beaker to another.
- The reaction could be incomplete
- For crystallisation reactions not all of the solution would have crystallised.
- For some of the reactions they are equilibrium reactions so the products and the reactants are constantly swapping.
