Expert Solution
Step 1

Limiting reactant :-

A reactant which is present in lesser number of moles than required as per balanced chenical equation is known as limiting reactant.

Theoretical yield :-

The maximum amount of product that can be obtained when limiting reactant consumed completely is known as theoretical yield.
