Theoretical Yield Calculator

Theoretical Yield Calculator

Calculate the theoretical yield of a product from a balanced chemical equation, and your percent yield if you know the actual amount produced.

How this is calculated

Moles of reactant = mass ÷ molar mass. Moles of product = moles of reactant × (product coefficient ÷ reactant coefficient), from the balanced equation’s mole ratio. Theoretical yield = moles of product × molar mass of product. If you enter an actual yield, Percent Yield = (actual yield ÷ theoretical yield) × 100.
