The maximum amount of product obtained by balanced chemical equation is called as __________?
Correct answer: B. Theoretical yield
- A. Practical yield
- B. Theoretical yield
- C. Actual yield
- D. NOT
Explanation
The balanced chemical equation gives the stoichiometric maximum product that can form when the limiting reactant reacts completely, called the theoretical yield. The practical or actual yield is usually lower because of incomplete reaction and losses during purification. Students often choose actual yield because both terms refer to product obtained, but actual yield is the measured laboratory amount.

About Theoretical and Percentage Yield
Theoretical yield is the maximum product predicted from a balanced equation and the amount of limiting reactant. Work includes identifying the limiting reagent, comparing theoretical and actual yield, and calculating percentage yield using stoichiometric mole relationships.

More Theoretical and Percentage Yield questions
The theoretical yield is, when % yield and actual yied are 55% and 24g respectively:
If % yield and actual yield is 80 and 20 g respectively, what will be theoretical yield?
A chemical reaction has a theoretical yield of 25 g, but only 20 g of product was obtained. What is the percentage yield of the reaction?
Phosphoric acid, H3PO4 is one of the main ingredients of soft drinks, detergents, and fertilizers. It can be prepared with a series of reactions: P4 + 5O2 → P4O10 P4O10+6H2O → 4H3PO4Let us say we allow 1000 kg of phosphorus to react with oxygen in the tank to yield 90% of tetra phosphorus decaoxide (P4O10). In the second step of the reaction, we react it with water to yield 97% of H3PO4. How much, in kilogram, of H3PO4 was produced after a series of reactions?
The type of reactants or product decides the nature of method adapted for finding the?
The efficiency of chemical reactions can be checked by calculating its _ yield.
