How is theoretical yield related to the limiting reactant?

Theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that can be formed from a given amount of reactants, assuming complete conversion and no losses. The limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely consumed first in a chemical reaction, thus determining the maximum amount of product that can be produced. Therefore, the theoretical yield is directly related to the limiting reactant; it is calculated based on the quantity of the limiting reactant available in the reaction. If the limiting reactant is fully utilized, the theoretical yield can be achieved.
