What factors might cause a chemical reaction to produce more than a 100 percent yield?
Arithmetic error; chemical impurity; insufficient drying.
The most likely cause is inadequate drying. In terms of chemical purity, a compound's melting point is by far the best indicator of its purity; chemical impurities significantly lower melting points.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
