Question

When an equation is used to calculate the amount of product that will form during a reaction, then the value obtained is called the ____?

Answer 1

The theoretical yield. :)

Answer 2

This would be the theoretical yield. This is the amount of product that should be obtained in the end of a reaction, given that none of the reactants are wasted in the creation of the product. This is unlikely to be exactly obtained, however, due to waste products being formed in the process.
