Question

Define theoretical yield ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The theoretical yield is the maximum possible mass of a product that can be made in a chemical reaction.

Answer 2

Answer:

Theoretical yield is the quantity of a product obtained from the complete conversion of the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction. It is the amount of product resulting from a perfect (theoretical) chemical reaction, and thus not the same as the amount you'll actually get from a reaction in the lab. Theoretical yield is commonly expressed in terms of grams or moles.

In contrast to theoretical yield, the actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by a reaction. Actual yield is usually a smaller quantity because few chemical reactions proceed with 100% efficiency because of loss recovering the product and because other reactions may be occurring that reduce the product. Sometimes an actual yield is more than a theoretical yield, possibly because of a secondary reaction that yields additional product or because the recovered product contains impurities.

The ratio between actual yield and theoretical yield is most often given as percent yield:

Percent yield = Mass of actual yield / Mass of theoretical yield x 100 percent
