Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The theoretical yield in grams of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ formed from the reaction of $\text{3}\text{.12g}$ ${\text{CS}}_{\text{2}}$ and $\text{1}\text{.88 g}$ ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Theoretical yield:

Theoretical yield is the maximum quantity of product that can be obtained from a chemical reaction, based on the amounts of starting materials.
