Concept explainers
Interpretation : The maximum amount of product that can be formed from the given amount of reactants used is to be determined.
Concept Introduction : After the completion of reaction the amount of product formed is known as yield.
Answer to Problem 6STP
Correct answer: The correct option is B.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option: The theoretical yield is the calculated amount of yield that is obtained when the reaction gets completed. It is the expected amount of yield and is the maximum amount of product. Thus, option (B) is correct.
Reasons for incorrect options: The experimentally obtained product is actual yield. Thus, option (A) is correct. The percent yield is the ratio of obtained yield by theoretical yield. Thus, option (C) is correct. The limiting reactant is the reactant that undergoes complete consumption in a
