Chapter 8, Problem 45E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: For the given moles of the reactants $\text{A}$ and $\text{B}$, the theoretical yield of product $\text{C}$ should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The theoretical yield is the smallest yield of product.

The theoretical yield of the product is obtained from the limiting reactant.

The reactant that forms the smallest amount of product is called the limiting reactant.

To obtain the moles of product from the given moles of reactant, stoichiometric mole–mole relationships between reactants and products are applied.
