The maximum amount of product that could possibly be formed from the reactants.
Explanation: Theoretical yield is a stoichiometric calculation based on the limiting reagent and assumes complete conversion with no losses or side reactions. The actual measured amount is the "actual yield"; percent yield = (actual/theoretical) × 100%.
