Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the theoretical yield, determine the number of moles of each reactant, in this case the sole reactant ethanol. Convert the 100 g to moles; the molecular weight of ethanol is 46 g/mole, therefore: Since there is only one reactant, it is also the limiting reagent.
