Theoretical Yield Calculator
Calculate the theoretical yield of a product from reactant mass and stoichiometry.
The Theoretical Yield Calculator predicts the maximum amount of product a chemical reaction can produce based on stoichiometry. It uses the mass of the limiting reactant, molar masses, and the mole ratio from the balanced equation.
Enter the mass of your reactant, its molar mass, the molar mass of the desired product, and the mole ratio (product moles per reactant mole from the balanced equation). The calculator converts to moles, applies the ratio, and converts back to grams.
Theoretical yield represents the ideal maximum output assuming 100% conversion with no losses. It serves as the benchmark against which actual yield is compared to calculate percent yield.
