Question

The formula is used to calculate the yield of a reaction.

Answer 1

The theoretical yield for a reaction is calculated based on the limiting reagent. This allows researchers to determine how much product can actually be formed based on the reagents present at the beginning of the reaction. The actual yield will never be 100 percent due to limitations.

Answer 2

Answer;:

Theoretical yield depends on limiting reagent.

Theoretical yield: no of moles of limiting reagent x molar mass of product

Percentage yield= observed yield x100/ theoretical yield
