An essentially 100% yield is necessary for a chemical reaction used to analyze a compound, but

An essentially 100% yield is necessary for a chemical reaction used to analyze a compound, but it is almost never expected for a reaction that is used to synthesize a compound. Explain this difference.

Expert Solution

A main criterion for choosing a synthesis reaction is how economically it can be run. In the analysis of a compound, on the other hand, it is essential that all of the material present be detected. Therefore, a 100% yield is required; none of the material present in the sample can be lost during the analysis.

Synthesis reaction chosen for economy; analysis demands 100% yield to detect all present material.
