State
A reaction's theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product calculable from the limiting reactant using the balanced equation's stoichiometry.
Show
Once silicon is identified as the limiting reactant, its full stoichiometric conversion to Si3N4 gives that reaction's theoretical yield.
Watch for
Theoretical yield is a calculated ceiling, not a prediction of what a real reaction will actually produce in a laboratory.
