Our next lesson we learned in stoic. was the calculation of theoretical/percent yield.
In order to find the theoretical yield, you have to take both of the reactants you are given and put both of them through the five-step equations. The reactant that has the lowest number of grams produced is your limiting reagent. And your limiting reagent is also your theoretical yield, meaning that you can only produce a certain amount of grams.
In order to find percent yield, you take the actual amount of grams you produced, and divide that by the theoretical yield you had just figured out. You then take that number and times it by 100.

Extra Help:
The links were somewhat helpful, although this unit isn't as hard as the last one in my opinion. I have some other good resources on my own blog.
