Theoretical Yield Calculator
Calculate theoretical product yield from a reactant mass, reactant and product molar masses, and balanced-equation coefficients.
Formula
Product mass = reactant mass / reactant molar mass x product coefficient / reactant coefficient x product molar mass.
About the Theoretical Yield Calculator
Calculate theoretical product yield from a reactant mass, reactant and product molar masses, and balanced-equation coefficients.
How the Theoretical Yield Calculator Works
Reactant mass is converted to moles, scaled by the balanced stoichiometric mole ratio, and converted to product mass with no rounding between stages.
Formula
Product mass = reactant mass / reactant molar mass x product coefficient / reactant coefficient x product molar mass.
The calculation runs in your browser. Values are validated for required ranges, compatible units, and method-specific restrictions before results are displayed.

Accuracy and Limitations
The selected reactant must be limiting or present in a known consumed amount. Purity, solution concentration, side reactions, equilibrium, and actual yield are excluded.
Keep units consistent, use measurements that represent the actual situation, retain full precision during the calculation, and round only the final answer. Professional decisions may require current official rules, field measurements, laboratory methods, or specialist review.
