The amount of the product in grams, formed from the limiting reactant is the theoretical yield
Step-by-step explanation:
In a chemical reaction when the limiting agent is completely reacted and the product obtained is termed as Theoretical yield. The amount of product yield that is attained through a complete reaction of the limiting agent is the theoretical yield. Grams or moles is used for expressing theoretical yield.
This is calculated form the limiting agent in a complete chemical reaction which is balanced. If a chemical reaction is unbalanced, it should be first balanced to find the theoretical yield. Then, the limiting agent must be found. When the limiting agent is small in quantity, the reaction cannot be completed once the limiting agent is fully used and exhausted.
