Theoretical Yield

Real World Example

Imagine you're planning a dinner party and have decided to make pizzas, but you only have a limited amount of dough. Just like how the dough limits the number of pizzas you can make, theoretical yield refers to the maximum amount of product that can be produced from a given amount of reactant. In this analogy, the dough is your reactant, the pizzas are the product, and the theoretical yield is the most pizzas you can make if everything goes perfectly and no dough is wasted.
