Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Stoichiometry
Stoichiometry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. It involves using balanced chemical equations to determine how much of each substance is needed or produced. In this case, stoichiometry will help calculate the theoretical yield of TiF4 based on the amounts of Ti and F2 provided.

Stoichiometry Concept
Molar Mass
Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, typically expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It is essential for converting between the mass of reactants and products and the number of moles. To find the theoretical yield of TiF4, the molar masses of Ti and F2 must be calculated to determine how many moles of each reactant are present.

Limiting Reactant
The limiting reactant is the substance that is completely consumed first in a chemical reaction, thus determining the maximum amount of product that can be formed. Identifying the limiting reactant is crucial for calculating the theoretical yield, as it dictates how much TiF4 can be produced from the given amounts of Ti and F2.
