Theoretical Yield & Losses

The video tutorial explains the concept of theoretical yield in chemical reactions, which is the maximum possible amount of product that can be produced. It provides a step-by-step guide on calculating theoretical yield using magnesium chloride as an example. The tutorial also discusses practical considerations and reasons why the theoretical yield is often not achieved in real-world scenarios, such as incomplete reactions, purification losses, and equilibrium states. The video concludes with a summary of these key points.
