Theoretical Yield Calculator
Calculate the maximum possible product yield from a chemical reaction based on the limiting reagent.
Understanding Theoretical Yield
Theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that could be produced in a chemical reaction, assuming 100% efficiency and ideal conditions. It's calculated using the balanced chemical equation and the limiting reagent's quantity.
How to Use This Calculator
