Understanding Theoretical Yield

What is Theoretical Yield?

Theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that can be formed from given quantities of reactants, assuming 100% reaction efficiency.

Based on balanced equation and limiting reagent

Actual yield ≤ Theoretical yield

Applications

Theoretical yield is essential for:

  • Process planning
  • Cost estimation
  • Efficiency analysis
  • Quality control

Calculation Method

Steps involved:

  • Balance equation
  • Find limiting reagent
  • Use stoichiometry
  • Convert to mass

Practical Considerations

Important factors:

  • Balanced equation needed
  • Correct stoichiometry
  • Pure reactants assumed
  • No side reactions
