Use the method of dividing moles by coefficients to determine whether the reaction is being run in a balanced or limiting fashion. If it is being run in a limiting fashion and you are asked for theoretical yield, remember to use only the limiting reactant in your calculation.

In the burning of propane,

suppose 10.0 g of propane is combined with 10.0 g of oxygen. What is the theoretical yield of CO₂, in grams?
