The theoretical yield of a product obtained from a reaction is the maximum obtainable amount of product from the reaction under ideal conditions and if all the limiting reactant is used up in the reaction. the actual yield however is lower a little than the theoretical yield in value
In stoichiometry, chemical quantities are computed in order to quantify a chemical reaction, in such a way, a yielded amount could be understood as the obtained either mass or moles of a particular product. Such obtained amount could be real which is gotten at a laboratory or theoretical which is gotten via a stoichiometric formula or equation, in such a way, when an equation is used to calculate the amount of product that will form during a reaction, the value obtained is called the theoretical yield which is the yield we expect to obtain once the chemical reaction goes to completion.
