Q

The actual yield is less than the theoretical yield because…

A

The reaction hasn’t gone to completion i.e dynamic equilibrium
Other reactions are occurring that that compete with the desired reaction
Separation of desired products is difficult (i.e distillation)
The product maybe impure or lost during purification
Industrial processes require a high yield and high purity of products, therefore, unreacted reactants are recycling
