Answer:
Side products coincides with a loss in percentage yield of the product
Explanation:
- The product yield is defined as
product yield= actual yield/theoretical yield
- Byproducts are undesired products that come from the same reaction pathway that our products → even if the reaction procedes ideally , we will always have byproducts → byproducts do not alter the Yield by themselves
- Side products , however , come from undesired products from side reactions and consume reactants due to these alternative pathways without producing our product → side products do alter the yield of the product
