What is theoretical mass?

Max amount of product from given reactants with perfect reaction

What does theoretical mass assume?

No losses or side reactions occur

Step 1 to find theoretical mass

Use balanced equation to see reactant:product ratio

Step 2 to find theoretical mass

Calculate moles of reactants you start with

Step 3 to find theoretical mass

Use mole ratio to find moles of product

Step 4 to find theoretical mass

Convert moles to grams using Mr

Formula: Calculate moles

MassMr\frac{Mass}{Mr}

Formula: Calculate mass from moles

Moles×MrMoles \times Mr

MrMr of H2OH_2O

18

Mole ratio H2H_2 to H2OH_2O in 2H2+O22H2O2H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O

1:1

Theoretical mass of H2OH_2O from 8g H2H_2 with excess O2O_2

72 g
