Answer to Question #135599 in Chemistry for Natalie

Question

How do you find a theoretical amount of a product within gas stoiciometry?

Answer 1

The calculated or expected amount of product is called the theoretical yield.

The amount of product actually produced is called the actual yield.

When you divide actual yield by theoretical yield you get a decimal percentage known as the percent yield of a reaction.

Stoichiometric calculations involving gases allow us to convert between mass, number of moles, and most importantly, volume of gases. The following relationship makes this possible:

• 1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure (273 K and 1 atm) occupies a volume of 22.4 L.
