Theoretical Yield

How do you calculate the theoretical yield of a chemical reaction?
More free chemistry help videos: www.nathanoldridge.com/chemistry-videos.html
1. Find the limiting reagent, and how many moles of it you have.
2. Figure out how many moles of product you will make if you use up ALL of the limiting reagent.
3. Convert that amount to grams, if necessary.

    You can measure gases in grams. Everything has mass. If you want to convert it to volume or something, convert it to moles and use PV=nRT (Ideal Gas Law)

    OK, if I have 3Zn(s) + 2Fe(NO3)3(aq) --> 3Zn(NO3)2 + 2Fe(s) The mol of Zn is 0.019 and the mol of Fe(NO3)3 is 0.013. Is the theoretical yield of Fe 1.46g or 0.728g? In other words, am I meant to double the molar mass of Fe because it is 2Fe or do I leave it as 56g?

But now I am happy that I had to overcome such a difficulty, as I have learnt a valuable lesson. Now I know how important it is to manage my time effectively and I know who to turn to in case I have any troubles in academics sphere. This site saved me out of my trouble then and they are going to do it again if I need. It is great to know that there is always a reliable helper around.

    Probably a bit late, but you just convert the mass to moles, based on molar mass, and then you just solve same way as in the video :) Good luck to those who see this some point in the future :D

    dude what the hell u like missed a step in about 1:20 like wtf does that even mean what is the relationship between ch4 being limiting and there being 0.250 mol of it and o2 creating 0.250 mol?? like if there is more than one mole of a coumpound what happens??

  • @mathieumat5494

    The mole ratio in-between CH4 and CO2 is the same, If you put in one mole of CH4 you get one mole of CO2, so if you put 0.250 mol in this case of CH4 you get 0.250 mol of CO2. You can see this from the chemical equation (no red numbers in front)

    I'm so frustrated ugh this stupid professor i swear. I am so confused, I'm given the moles for NaOH and H2SO4, 0.75 mol NaOH and 1.25 mol H2SO4, but he wants the theoretical yield for Na2SO4 which I don't know how many moles of that we have. Balanced equation is H2SO4 + 2NaOH -> Na2SO4 + 2H2O. so am I trippin or is he????
