Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The maximum amount of product that could be formed in a reaction.
A
theoretical yield
B
actual yield
C
percent yield
D
yield
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This is called the theoretical yield, the maximum amount of product that can be formed from the given amounts of reactants. The actual yield is the amount of product that is actually formed when the reaction is carried out in the laboratory.

Detailed explanation-2: -The maximum amount of product(s) that can be obtained in a reaction from a given amount of reactant(s) is the theoretical yield of the reaction. The actual yield is the amount of product(s) actually obtained in the reaction; it cannot exceed the theoretical yield.

Detailed explanation-3: -Amounts of products calculated from the complete reaction of the limiting reagent are called theoretical yields, whereas the amount actually produced of a product is the actual yield.

Detailed explanation-4: -Balance the reaction. Identify the limiting reagent, which is the reagent with the fewest moles. Divide the fewest number of reagent moles by the stoichiometry of the product. Multiply the result of Step 3 by the molecular weight of the desired product. 30-Dec-2022
