• 78 tablespoons of icing total.
Limiting Reactant Cont.
39 cupcakes can be iced with the available icing, but we only have 36 cupcakes. Therefore, the
limiting reactant is the cupcakes.
Percent Yield
• Each cupcake recipe theoretically makes 48 cupcakes.
• However, when we made the cupcakes, we only got 36.
What is the Percent Yield?
Percent Yield Cont.
• Actual Yield- the amount of product actually obtained from a reaction• Theoretical Yield- the amount of product that would result if all limiting reagent reacted
