Write the balanced chemical equation.
Convert each reactant mass to moles: moles = mass ÷ molar mass.
Identify the limiting reactant by comparing reactant mole ratios from the balanced equation.
Convert limiting reactant moles to theoretical product moles using the mole ratio in the balanced equation.
Convert theoretical product moles to theoretical yield mass: mass = moles × molar mass.
If needed, compute percent yield: percent yield = (actual yield ÷ theoretical yield) × 100.
