What is the theoretical yield for a reaction, and how does this quantity depend

Question

What is the theoretical yield for a reaction, and how does this quantity depend on the limiting reactant?

a. The theoretical yield is the stoichiometric amount of product that should form if the reactant in excess is completely consumed and the reaction has 100% yield.

b. The theoretical yield is the stoichiometric amount of product that should form if the limiting reactant is completely consumed and the reaction has 100% yield.

c. The theoretical yield is the ratio obtained by dividing the amount of product that should form if the limiting reactant is completely consumed and the reaction has 100% yield by the actual (experimental) amount of product that is obtained.

d. None of the above is correct.

Explanation / Answer

a. The theoretical yield is the stoichiometric amount of product that should form if the reactant in excess is completely consumed and the reaction has 100% yield.
