Answer to Question #110593 in General Chemistry for Cara Piazza

Question

How do you calculate the miles of solid product and the mass of solid product that should be produced ( theoretical yield)

Answer 1

Step 1: Make sure your chemical equation are balanced equations.

Step 2: Determine the mole ratios between the reactants and the product.

Step 3: Calculate the theoretical yield of the reaction. Use the strategy:

1. Use molar mass of reactant to convert grams of reactant to moles of reactant
2. Use the mole ratio between reactant and product to convert moles reactant to moles product
3. Use the molar mass of the product to convert mole products to grams of product.
