The formula to calculate the theoretical mass is:
TM=n×mm
Where:
The theoretical mass is the total mass of a product that can be obtained from a given number of moles of reactants, based on the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced chemical equation. It is calculated by multiplying the number of moles by the molar mass of the product.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
TM=2×18=36 g
The Theoretical Mass is 36 g.
