What is the yield of a product?
The mass of the product that is made in the reaction
What is the theoretical yield of a product?
The maximum mass of the product that could be made in the reaction
What do you need to know to calculate the theoretical yield?
The mass of the limiting reactant
The relative formula masses of the reactants and products
The balanced equation for the reaction
What is the formula for theoretical yield?
(Mass of limiting reactant / formula mass of limiting reactant) * total formula mass of products
